Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study A descriptive cross-sectional study is a study in which the disease or condition and potentially related factors are measured at a specific point in time for a defined population. Cross-sectional studies can be thought of as a snapshot of the frequency and characteristics of a condition in a population at a particular point in time. This type of data can be used to assess the prevalence of conditions in a population.
In economics, cross-sectional studies typically involve the use of cross-sectional regression, in order to sort out the existence and magnitude of causal effects of one or more independent variables upon a dependent variable of interest at a given point in time.n example of cross-sectional analysis in economics is the regression of money demand âthe amounts that various people hold in highly liquid financial assetsâat a particular time upon their income, total financial wealth, and various demographic factors.
