Integrated Data Infrastructure

Statistics NZ has successfully developed the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). The IDI is an integrated data environment with longitudinal microdata about individuals, households, and firms that enables research and policy to support informed decision-making.

In December 2011, Statistics NZ successfully completed a prototype of the IDI. This has now been replaced and enhanced by the IDI, and is being used by a number of researchers from across government to answer a wide range of research, policy, and evaluation questions.
