I have in-depth experience managing regional and micro-level datasets for empirical research in applied economics. This includes merging multi-source of data, harmonizing them, and constructing dataset tailored to policy evaluation and spatial analysis. My work covers micro-level sources such as ORBIS, Kohesio, and SAFE, as well as regional-level data from EUROSTAT, among others.
Conducted by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission (EC). It provides provides information on the latest developments in the financial situation of enterprises, documents trends in the need for and availability of external financing, and measures firms’ expectations about their selling prices, costs, and employment, as well as about euro area inflation.
