English term or phrase: Dummy variable -country
Dummy variable appears a few times followed by - country (Dummy_variable_country), source (Dummy_variable_source), age (Dummy_Variable_Age).

Can 'Dummy Variable' be translated as 'variabile dummy...' or is there a more specific translation in Italian?

Many thanks in advance,

Ps
Sempre nei glossari Microsoft, vedi che dummy è anche lasciato in inglese. Poiché, però, "fittizio" ricorre più spesso, sceglierei la traduzione.
