1.-Wage Indicator: Quick, reliable and internationally comparable data
The current economic crisis
requires fast information for quick reaction
to predict economic behavior early
difficult at times of structural changes.
Quick & reliable data
Web-based data collection methods

MARKETING MEASSURES- Attract large masses of visitors - Address underrepresented groups
Able to correct socio-demographic bias
Ex. Spain, Germany
Provide internet access
Costs (LISS PANEL)
But less and less
Mixed modes
Offline questionnaires

4.- Some Examples of TFs: TF 25.- Web data & Applied Economics
- Systematically explore all the possibilities web data Applied Economic research;
- identify & classify limits of any kind -scientific, ethical, legal, institutional, related to data access...
- work overcame those limits and open new research opportunities aiming to benefit society;
- foster the Webdatanet international multidisciplinary networking process with leading academics, companies and national and international institutions;
- Apply for the necessary institutional and private support for all the above.
