DIW Berlin: Research Infrastructure 'Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP)'

Research Infrastructure Focus

The Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) is one of the largest and longest-running multidisciplinary household surveys worldwide. Every year, approximately 30,000 people in 15,000 households are interviewed for the SOEP study. The SOEP is also a research-driven infrastructure based at DIW Berlin. The SOEP team prepares survey data for use by researchers around the globe, and team members use the data in research on various topics. Studies based on SOEP data examine diverse aspects of societal change. As part of the Leibniz Association, the SOEP receives funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and from Germany’s state (Länder) governments.
