Higher education, in particular, fosters innovation, with varying fields of study contributing differently to this process. Yet, despite its importance, no dataset has previously documented the evolution of academic fields across higher education institutions in a specific country. ...

Chat about SOEP Research Data: A RAG System for Interactive SOEP Data Exploration

The German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) is one of the world’s longest-running household panel studies, containing rich longitudinal data spanning over four decades.

The present study examined SES-related differences among a large sample of elementary school students in Germany. We employed multiple SES indicators, considered both cognitive and psychological dimensions of well-being, ...

The impact of urban-rural residents’ life quality gap on the cultivated land transfer

Cultivated land transfer serves as an efficient way to mitigate the escalating issue of cultivated land abandonment due to labor migration driven by the urban-rural gap, while also ensuring national food security. Nevertheless, the impact of how urban-rural resident’ life quality gap (RLQG) affect cultivated land transfer decision-making remains unclear. This study developed a theoretical framework ...
