本文介绍了欧元体系家庭金融与消费调查的数据集，概述了15个欧洲国家家庭的资产、负债和储蓄情况，并提供了按社会人口和国家维度划分的关键统计摘要。
The following three articles summarize the evidence on assets, liabilities, and saving of households from fifteen European countries from a new data set, the Eurosystem Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). Before the articles expose the more detailed analytical results, this introductory note gives an overview of the data set and describes how it expands our information about household balance sheets. In addition, we provide some key summary statistics on holdings of assets and liabilities that document heterogeneity along sociodemographic and country dimensions. Finally, we preview the main findings from the three papers.
