CBS is the national statistical institute of the Netherlands, responsible for publishing reliable statistical information about the Dutch economy and society. CBS plays an active role in developing indicators that measure welfare and sustainability. The use of big data as well as model estimation procedure, e.g. SAE methods, are important research and innovation topics for CBS. Finally CBS is, like other notational statistical institutes, an important stakeholder of the results obtained in this project. Statistics Netherlands recently installed the Centre for Big Data Statistics (CBDS).  This centre plays an innovative role in collecting big data and exploring the possibilities of using big data sources for the production of official statistics.
