SOEP-Core v26 - Known Bugs/Fixes

 There was a problem in the assignment of the correct current household number in 3% of the children in the generated longitudinal dataset KIDLONG. The variable HHNRAKT has been corrected accordingly.
In addition, the data in the variable K_NRKID for survey year 1987 have changed for child 397403.
Here, the "number of children in the HH below the age of 16" went from 1 to 2.

Please contact soepmail@diw.de if you use the KIDLONG dataset. We will provide an individualized method of downloading the corrected version for both the 100% dataset for the EEA countries and the 95% version available for use worldwide.

Please note: If you use the corrected dataset KIDLONG we recommend citing it as follows:
