SOEP2016

SOEP 2016, June 22 to 23 in Berlin


The conference

The 12th International German Socio-Economic Panel User Conference (SOEP2016) will be held in Berlin, June 22-23, 2016, at the WZB | Berlin Social Science Center.
The conference provides researchers who use the SOEP with the opportunity to present and discuss their work with other researchers familiar with SOEP data. Researchers of all disciplines (e.g. economics, demography, geography, political science, public health, psychology and sociology) who use the SOEP or the SOEP part of the Cross-National Equivalent Files (CNEF) are invited to submit an abstract. We especially encourage submissions on inter-generational mobility in income, wealth, educational attainment, fertility, and related areas.
