Dataset Information

The Microm-SOEP dataset enables users to link SOEP data with small-scale indicators from the micro-marketing provider microm. The Microm indicators have been matched with SOEP data on the housing block level. To protect the confidentiality of respondents’ data in accordance with data protection law, the data linkage was carried out on site at Kantar Public, the survey institute responsible for the SOEP fieldwork, which is alone in knowing respondents’ addresses.

All survey households remain completely anonymous. For security reasons—due to the small-scale nature of the data—analysis is only possible on specially protected SOEP computers on site at DIW Berlin.
