Car Ownership in Amsterdam Following the Opening of the North-South Metro Line
How has car ownership in Amsterdam changed since the opening of the North-South metro line? This research project utilizes CBS microdata of residents of Amsterdam of the past 10 years to disentangle that complex question.
Environment Related Mortality in the Netherlands
What are the effects of factors such as air pollution, noise and greenery on the health of adults based on country-wide questionnaires and registrations? This project by researchers at RIVM is highly complex and requires a great deal of computing power.
Privacy Preserving Techniques
This project aims to develop a synthetic data generator framework using artificial intelligence technologies while concurrently exploring ethical-legal perspectives in the trade-off between data privacy and the potential utilization of synthetic representations. It utilizes a large size of social science data (millions of data records) and generate synthetic data using a fully data-driven method (Generative Adversarial Networks).
Housing Demand in the Netherlands
The researchers estimate the housing demand in the Netherlands with a discrete choice model which allows them to estimate what influence different house and household characteristics have on the housing choices that people in the Netherlands make. They use the OSSC for the estimation of the housing demand model and to prepare the dataset that is used to estimate the model.
Financial Troubles and Mental health
This project uses nationwide individual-level register data from the Netherlands to study the relationship between problematic debts and mental health. The researchers use the OSSC to run the algorithm on millions of observations.
