Proposing the Model for Croatian Remote Access Safe Center for Statistical Microdata

The data collected in National Statistical Offices (NSOs) present a valuable source for the research community. These data, when put to some secondary analyses, bring new benefits for society. The growing need for researchers’ easy access to publicly funded data is recognised in the European Statistical System (ESS). There are on-going efforts for establishment of pan-European network for Remote Access (RA) to Microdata in official statistics and there are several projects concerned with these issues coming along. In this research paper the authors will explore the current state of establishment of infrastructure for researchers’ RA to statistical microdata in ESS and they will propose a model for development of infrastructure for researchers’ RA to statistical microdata in Croatia with the aim of integrating the Croatian system for RA to statistical microdata in the currently developing ESS’s infrastructure for the same purpose
