Tilburg Consumer Outlook Monitor > 2016 March

Longitudinal Wave

General Information

Title
2016 March
Project Number
30.25
Abstract
TILCOM systematically tracks economic expectations, emotional responses to economic developments, and consumption coping in response to economic developments. TILCOM furthermore relates this to specific topical themes.

The TILCOM survey is conducted each quarter among members of the LISS panel . The panel is divided into three groups, and for every measurement, two of these groups are interviewed. This means that each panel member will be presented a maximum of three TILCOM questionnaires per year.

In March and June 2015 no TILCOM questionnaire was fielded in the LISS panel.

This codebook describes the twenty-fifth TILCOM measurement, conducted in March 2016.
