The 14th International German Socio-Economic Panel User Conference (SOEP2022) will be held in Berlin from June 30 to July 1, 2022 at DIW Berlin.
The conference provides researchers who use the SOEP (including the SOEP part of the Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF) and LIS/LWS data) with the opportunity to present and discuss their work with their peers. Researchers of all disciplines (e.g., economics, demography, geography, political science, public health, psychology, and sociology) are invited to submit an abstract.
The theme of the conference and keynote speeches will be "The Opportunities and Challenges of Technological Change and Digitalization". We particularly welcome contributions examining the economic, political, psychological, and social consequences of technological change and digitalization at the workplace and in everyday life outside of work. In addition, we encourage submissions beyond this thematic focus, particularly submissions using the longitudinal features of SOEP and papers on survey methodology and cross-national comparative analysis.
The 2022 SOEP Conference took place from June 30 to July 1, 2022. After postponing the bi-annual conference due to the pandemic, we were happy to finally host it again at DIW Berlin. Events like this are an important part of scientific life, and we are pleased that so many presenters and participants came and made it a success.
Of the approximately 80 submissions by conference participants from nine different countries, around 50 submissions were accepted for presentation by the scientific committee for the SOEP conference (Marco Caliendo, Theresa Entringer, Philipp Lersch, Stefan Schmukle, Pia Schober, Carsten Schröder, and Olaf Struck).
Keynote speeches were given by Arne L. Kalleberg (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC / USA) on “Technological Change and Job Quality” and by Anja Abendroth (Bielefeld University / Germany) on “Gender, Parenthood, and Class Specific Patterns of Digital Work: A Comparative Perspective”.
The conference ended with an awards ceremony. Three groups of researchers were awarded the 2022 Joachim R. Frick Memorial Prize prize for best presentation at the conference. One went to Laila Schmitt from University of Munich (LMU). A second went to Maximilian Blesch and his coauthors from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Bonn University, Freie Universität Berlin, and DIW Berlin. A third Joachim R. Frick Memorial Prize went to Max Deter and Martin Lange from Bergische Universität Wuppertal and Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW). The Felix Büchel Award was presented to C. Katharina Spieß.
