SOEP-CMI-ADIAB
Dataset Information
SOEP survey data linked to administrative data of the IAB (SOEP-CMI-ADIAB)
The record linkage data product SOEP-CMI-ADIAB is provided cooperatively by the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) at the German Institute for Economics Research (DIW Berlin) and the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), Nuremberg. SOEP-CMI-ADIAB consists of the survey data of respondents of the SOEP and administrative data of the IAB – in case the respondents consented to their records being linked. The survey data of SOEP-CMI-ADIAB comprise data of SOEP-Core and the IAB-SOEP Migration Sample, the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Survey of Refugees as well as data from the SOEP Innovation Sample.
SOEP-CMI-ADIAB can be now used to investigate research questions regarding the rich socio-demographic information of the SOEP as well as precise income information from the administrative data sources which include earnings biographies starting from 1975.
Since the linked dataset contains weakly anonymized social data, the datasets are only accessible on site at the Research Data Center of the German Federal Employment Agency at the IAB (FDZ IAB). Researchers can use FDZ IAB data on a guest visit to the IAB or through remote data processing, which can also be arranged with the IAB.
Data Access keyboard_arrow_up
The SOEP-CMI-ADIAB data are provided only after users have signed data distribution contracts with both SOEP and IAB. Initially, a guest visit to the IAB’s Research Data Center is required, after which the data can be used via remote data processing. Further information on how to apply for a guest visit can be found here. The SOEP-CMI-ADIAB data will only be available for a limited time, so data distribution contracts will only be temporary.
For further information visit the website of the FDZ IAB.
Test Data keyboard_arrow_up
Stata test data for the IAB part of the dataset are available to users to allow error-free programs to be written for remote data processing and to prepare for guest visits. These test data cannot be used for substantive analysis, however. There are no test data for the SOEP survey data part.
