SOEP v35

1984-2018 (Wave BI)
(as of April 2020)

Dataset: bioage; variable clref
We detected a label error in the data set bioage in the variable clref that could be misleading when analyzing the data. The labels for values [1] und [2] need to be switched.

SOEP v34

1984-2017 (Wave BH)

Overview (May 2019):

  1. Dataset: pl / variables: plb0186_v2, plb0186_h

    Values for the variables plb0186_v2 and plb0186_h for the East sample in 1990 are too small by a factor of 10.

  2. Dataset: bhh / variables: bhh_37_01, bhh_37_02

    The names assigned to the raw variables bhh_37_01 “electricity included in rent” and bhh_37_02 “assessed burden of housing expenses (rent and additional expenses)” do not correspond to the standard SOEP concept for naming variables. Both variables will be renamed in the new version.

  3. Dataset: migspell

    The previous version from the migspell dataset was delivered. 

  4. Datasets: biobirth, bioimmig, biojob, bioparen, bioresid, biosib, biosoc, biotwin, pflege / variables: pid, hid, cid

    The new identifiers were not filled in and have to be filled in from the old identifiers.

Details:

1. Dataset: pl
Variables: plb0186_v2, plb0186_h

Values for the variables plb0186_v2 “Actual working time with overtime (1990-2017)” and plb0186_h “Actual working time with overtime (harmonized)” have the wrong values for the East sample in 1990.

The variable plb0186_h is made up of the variables plb0186_v1 (1984-1989) and plb0186_v2 (1990-2017). We included all of the values for plb0186_v1 as they were, and divided all of the valid values for plb0186_v2 by 10. The process of harmonization is necessary due to the fact that the two raw variables for 1990 were provided in different formats:

gpost: gp3601e (two-digit, no comma)
gp: gp39 (three-digit, no comma)

The raw variable gp3601e from gpost was assigned to the variable plb0186_v2 although it does not have to be divided by 10. As a result, all values for the East German population for the year 1990 were mistakenly divided by 10. The simplest way of solving this problem is to multiply the valid values for the East German population by 10. 

cd "Datenpfad"
use "pl.dta"
tabstat plb0186_*,by(syear)
clonevar rep_plb0186_h=plb0186_h
replace rep_plb0186_h = rep_plb0186_h*10 if inputdataset == "gpost" & rep_plb0186_h > 0

Detailed information on the general process used to harmonize variables can be found here:
Versioning and harmonization of variables
Working with harmonized Variables

2. Dataset: bhh
Variables: bhh_37_01, bhh_37_02

The names assigned to the raw variables bhh_37_01 “electricity included in rent” and bhh_37_02 “assessed burden of housing expenses (rent and additional expenses)” do not correspond to the standard SOEP concept for naming variables. Both variables had to be renamed:

bhh_37_01 “Electricity included in rent” → bhh_33
bhh_37_02 “Assessed burden of housing expenses (rent and additional costs)” → bhh_37

To find out more about how raw variables are named in the SOEP, see the SOEPcompanion:
Naming conventions of Variables and Datasets

3. Dataset: migspell

Unfortunately the previous version of the migspell dataset was delivered. For the current version, please contact the SOEPhotline or write an email to soepmail.

4. Dataset: biobirth, bioimmig, biojob, bioparen, bioresid, biosib, biosoc, biotwin, pflege
Variables: pid, cid, hid

In the process of “merging” SOEP-Long and SOEP-Core, all of the SOEP-Long ID variables (pid, hid, cid) were also included in the raw datasets to make merging easier for users. In some datasets, only the ID variables were created but not filled in with the corresponding IDs.

Empty pid: biobirth, bioimmig, biojob, bioparen, bioresid, biosib, biosoc, biotwin, pflege
Empty hid: bioimmig, bioresid, biosoc
Empty cid: biobirth, bioimmig, biojob, bioparen, bioresid, biosib, biosoc, biotwin, pflege

With these datasets, please continue to use persnr, hhnrakt, hhnr, or copy the content into the corresponding new ID variable.

clonevar pid = persnr
clonevar hid = hhnrakt
clonevar cid = hhnr

SOEP v33

1984-2016 (Wave BG)

May 18, 2018

1. Dataset $PGEN: Variable casmin$$

A missing parenthesis in programming led to individuals in CASMIN category 6 (“(2c_gen) general maturity certificate”) being mistakenly placed in CASMIN category 7 ("(2c_voc) vocational maturity certificate").

For wave BG, this means that of the 4,553 observations in category 7, 1,976 actually belong in category 6 and 2,577 in category 7.

This can be corrected with the existing variable in the $PGEN data. For wave BG, it can be done as follows:

replace casmin16= 6 if  inlist (bgpsbil,3,4) |  bgpsbila==3 |  bgpsbilo==3   

replace casmin16= 7  if (inlist (bgpsbil,3,4) |  bgpsbila==3 |  bgpsbilo==3)  & (inlist (bgpbbila,2,3,5,6,8) | (bgpbbil01>=1 & bgpbbil01<.) | (bgpbbilo>=1 & bgpbbilo<.))

replace casmin16= 8 if inlist (bgpbbil02,1,4)                                    

replace casmin16= 9 if inlist (bgpbbil02,2,3,5,6,7,8) | inlist (bgpbbila,4,7,9)

2. Dataset [BE-BG]PGEN: Variable [be-bg]pbilla ("Vocational Degree Outside Germany") 

The variable $$pbilla (foreign degrees – vocational education) in SOEP v33 was expanded retrospectively to include information on whether the degree had been completed. This revision failed, however, to take into account some of the information covered in certain modules. A correction can be made with the existing variables in the $PGEN data, as shown here: Statement (TXT, 2.72 KB)

Dataset Variabel Variable Label
bepgen bepbbila Vocational Degree Outside Germany
bfpgen bfpbbila Vocational Degree Outside Germany
bgpgen bgpbbila Vocational Degree Outside Germany

3. Dataset BIOAGEL: Variable bioage

In the dataset BIOAGEL,the data type was not adjusted for the variable bioage. The variable shows which questionnaire the row of data was taken from. Since the variable bioage has included values > 99 since v33, this led to values > 99 being cut off in Stata. The cut-off values are:

Variable Value Label
bioage 101 “bioage10a”
bioage 102 “bioage10b(only FID)”

4. Dataset CIRDEF: Variable rgroup

The variable rgroup divides the SOEP sample into 20 equally sized groups. It is used to select the 50% sample. Since the new samples M3 and M4 were incorrectly assigned, there are no cases from these samples in the teaching version of the SOEP data.

January 30, 2018 Various updates forced us to distribute a new version. Please see the 'Changes in the Dataset' page for the documentation of the changes.

SOEP v32

1984-2015 (Wave BF)

February 15, 2017 Various updates forced us to distribute a new version. Please see the doi landing page soep.v31.2 for the documentation of the changes.

SOEP v31

1984-2014 (Wave BE)

June 6, 2016

In the file with generated longitudinal data on children (KIDLONG) in SOEP-Core v31.1 another correction had to be implemented: Some few data that only had been asked in the FiD study were missing.

This applies to the variables KA06$$ (Activities for children below the age of 6) and KA16$$ (Activities for children aged 6 to 16).

If you want to analyze these variables there are three ways to use the corrected data:

  1. You use the original data from SOEP-Core (in the files $$KIND)
  2. You use the data set KIDL in SOEPlong (there the data had been implemented correctely)
  3. You may ask for the correct data set KIDLONG at our hotline (soepmail@diw.de). We can provide you with an individualized download link.
March 18, 2016 Various updates forced us to distribute a new version. Please see the doi landing page soep.v31.1 for the documentation of the changes.

SOEP v29

1984-2012 (Wave BC)

Mar. 27,2014

HGEN

Errors in the imputation of electricity, heating, and additional expenses for tenants in the current data distribution resulted in values that were too high. These errors also affected the generation of rent including maintenance but excluding heating. The variables affected are: electr$$, heat$$, util$$, rent$$, and frent$$ for the years 2008 to 2012. The variables typ1hh12 and typ2hh12 changed for two households.

BCPKAL

Also in the 2012 survey year, after the suspension of compulsory military service in Germany, the related calendar information in the individual questionnaire was revised. This revision was made in the original individual data for 2012 but not in the corresponding calendar data—these have now been updated retrospectively for the data distribution v29.

Both errors were corrected and an update is now available for downloading upon request (soepmail@diw.de). If you would like to use this updated version in your work, please cite the version number, SOEP v29.1 (or better, doi: 10.5684/soep.v29.1) in publications using these data.

SOEP v28

1984-2011 (Wave BB)

Dec. 19,2012

BIOCOUPLM, BIOCOUPLY, BIOMARSM, BIOMARSY
In some cases, reports of a past divorce were not taken into account in the data generation process. In addition, the reported year of death of a former partner was in some cases overwritten by the respective current year of the interview. This affected not only the start and end date of some spells but also missing information and validation checks.

$FAMSTD
The mistakenly overwritten information in the generation of BIOCOUPL$ affected validation checks. A majority of the formerly missing information is now available. However, the number of implausible answers has also risen in the process.

SOEP v27

1984-2010 (Wave BA)

March, 30, 2012

BIOAGE03
The age of the children was not correct and had to be recalculated. In addition, some missing values for children’s weight and height had the wrong value “0” and had to be recoded. Finally, the number of doctor visits for the survey years 2005 and 2006 were set to “0” by mistake and had to be recoded.

BIOAGE06
For 14 children, the birth month was missing although this information was available in recent waves. This information was added. In addition, one incorrect person number and one incorrect household number were changed.

BIOAGE08
The age of the children was not correct and had to be recalculated.

LIFESPELL
In the update of the dataset LIFESPELL, approximately 100 cases of emigration were recoded for the time period 2006-2010. In the original version of v27 they were incorrectly specified as living in Germany. The revised LIFESPELL file also contains new information about the year of death for a small number of individuals. For more information please contact Hannes Neiss (hneiss@diw.de).

 COGDJ
In the file COGDJ, the 2010 data had not yet been updated in the released version. For a bugfix for download please contact soepmail@diw.de.

 English labels
In the data sets ZHBRUTTO and BAHBRUTTO, some of the English labels shifted position and had to be redefined. This applies to the following variables:

ZHBRUTTO
BAHBRUTTO
SAMPLE1  
ZBULA  
ZDATUMMO  
ZHAND  
ZHERGS  
ZHTYP BAHTYP
ZSAMPREG

Also, in the $PGEN data sets, no English value labels were generated for the new variables on educational degrees and training qualifications prior to joining the panel. This applies to the English labels for the following variables:
FIELD$$, DEGREE$$, and TRAINA$$–TRAIND$$.

If you use one of those variables, please contact soepmail@diw.de to obtain a download link for the bugfixes.

PPFADL in SOEPlong
In the SOEPlong data version distributed earlier this year, the following two variables in the file PPFADL had missing values in 2010:

HID — key indicator for households and
NETT1 — the short version of the tracking variable NETTO.

An update for PPFADL can be downloaded, but only by means of a personalized link. Please contact soepmail@diw.de to obtain such a link.

SOEP v26

1984-2009 (Wave Z)

Jan. 6, 2011

 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.

1984-2008 (wave Y)

Feb. 10, 2010

Downloadable bug-fix for children's weighting factors of wave Y (2008)

Individuals born in 2002 (thus being 6 years of age in wave Y, 2008) whose parents completed the newly introduced child questionnaire for this particular cohort did not receive a valid score on the wave-specific cross-sectional weighting variable (this population can be identified by YNETTO=23). This affects the variable YPHRF in the file PPHRF and the variable W1110108 in the file YPEQUIV. This inaccuracy applies only to these 237 children aged 6 in this particular wave and affects only the individual, but not the household weights. Moreover, any weighted analysis based only on adult respondents using, for instance, the YP and YPGEN files is virtually unaffected by this error. Users who wish to include the six-year-olds in a weighted analysis are asked to download updated versions of the datasets YPHRF and YPEQUIV.

Please send an email to soepmail@diw.de to request a personalized URL and further details.

Dec. 5, 2009

In the dataset BIOIMMIG an incorrect assignment to the variable BIGOBACK (the variable on the probability to return home) was made for the categories -2 (“does not apply”) and 2 (“Yes, probably”) in some cases since 2001.

To correct this error, please download the appropriate script for your statistical program (SAS, SPSS or Stata) and run it after adjusting the script to the path of your local settings.

Shortly after completing the DVD, an error in data generation was identified in the file BIOPAREN.
The error is in the categories of parental religious affiliation (MRELI, VRELI). The codes for the categories "other Christian affiliation", "Islamic affiliation" as well as "other religious affiliation" require correction. The other categories of the variable are not affected.

1984-2007 (wave X)

Dec. 04, 2008 In the process of extensive checking, several problems were identified in the 1984-2007 data distribution currently available on DVD (waves A-X).

The corrected datasets are now available to be downloaded as a password-protected ZIP file from our homepage. To obtain download access to the corrected datasets, please send an e-mail to soepmail@diw.de or call the SOEPhotline at +49 30 89789 292.

To unzip the files, you will need the password for the current 1984-2007 data distribution, or the password used to access the expanded regional data in the GGKBOU dataset. If you do not have the current data distribution, please contact our hotline (soepmail@diw.de).

The fixed files are:

  • HHRF (weighting factors for households): in preparing the weighting factors for households, an older version was mistakenly distributed for the variables WHHRFALL and XHHRFALL. These have now been replaced with the revised version.
  • PBIOSPE: Due to a problem in data storage, some of the earnings biographies surveyed since wave U for the first time or subsequently were not recorded correctly. PBIOSPE was therefore revised retroactively from wave U on.
  • XHBRUTTO: Here, an erroneous code for the East German federal states was corrected in the variable XBULA.
  • WP: WKLAS, WIS88, WIS88N and WKLASN were updated. This was necessary since some data had been overwritten with missings.
  • WPGEN/XPGEN: Because of the corrections to WKLAS and WIS88 in WP, it was necessary to update some generated variables which are derived from $KLAS and $IS88: This includes the variables IS8806, ISEI06, MPS06, SIOPS06, EGP06 and KLAS06. Furthermore, due to the revision of PBIOSPE (see above) EXPFT$$, EXPPT$$ and EXPUE$$ were also updated.
  • HBRUTT00: Because of a conflict in household IDs for the expanded original gross sample F, the household IDs had to be changed in some cases. This only applies to households that did not provide valid SOEP interviews.
  • GGKBOU: As a result of the change in HBRUTT00, the identifier HHNR was adapted in some cases in this dataset as well.

Mar. 31, 2008 In the information on school and occupational training, the data on graduations and completed training since 2005 contained errors (variables PSBIL and PBBIL01-03 in VPGEN and WPGEN). Further information can be obtained from Henning Lohmann and Peter Krause.
Sept. 28,2007 In the process of inputting the revised ERWZEIT variables, the VEBZEIT variables in columns of the same name from previous years were overwritten. Both variables have now been corrected in the PGEN files for the years 1984-1997 (Waves A-N). Those users who need to use data from before 1998 for their analyses should input the new PGEN files.
The updated data are provided in the various formats for downloading. Please request the passwort from the SOEPhotline.

1984-2004 (wave U)

Aug. 24, 2005 In 2005, the SOEP group together with our field work agency TNS Infratest Sozialforschung, carried out extensive checks on all regional identifiers in the SOEP data such as administrative districts and federal states. Firstly, this enabled us to replace missing values of regional identifiers even in past years with valid information. Secondly, in some cases the regional identifiers $BULA and $SAMPREG have been corrected for former waves. Based on these changes, all information concerning regional identifiers in the SOEP should be consistent.

The checks mentioned above have been finialized after the data production of our most recent CD-Rom (up to wave U, 2004). If you are interested in using the corrected information you may apply the following statements (TXT, 9.92 KB).

1984-2003 (wave T)

Feb. 18, 2005 Probably only in STATA used with Windows 2000 some variables are diplayed in a curious way.

 19.12.2003 POP - Variables in the data distribution within Germany

Provisional values for the generated variables for population membership (SPOP and SHPOP) have inadvertently been distributed. We will provide an update at the beginning of next year. The POP variables which rely on extrapolation factors have been calculated using the correct data and are therefore not affected.

 18.12.2003 Data distribution within Germany

Due to an error in the setup program for the 1984-2002 data distribution for Stata and SPSS, the file "BIOJOB" is not automatically installed. SAS users are not affected.In order to gain access to the "BIOJOB" file through Stata or SPSS, it has to be installed manually using a program-specific command.

  • These following steps are required: Open the 'Work' directory for the SOEP-data.
  • Insert the SOEP19 CD#1 (in this example in drive D:. Please change this if your drive has a different letter).
  • Use the command

d:\data\gsoep\sta_100.exe -pass=******** biojob.* (Stata-Files),
d:\data\gsoep\por_100.exe -pass=******** biojob.* (SPSS-Portable-Files) or
d:\data\gsoep\sps_100.exe -pass=******** biojob.* (SPSS-SAV-Files)

in order to install the respective statistical package.

 04.11.2003 Data distribution within Germany

A LABEL bug in the file BIOPAREN on the German CD 1984-2002.In the file BIOPAREN we discovered a small value label bug. It emerged in the variables VNAT und MNAT.

The label for value 2 has to be "andere Staatsangehörigkeit als deutsch" and not "türkisch".

 03.05.2002 THE FOLLOWING ONLY AFFECTS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE VERSION of the GSOEP. THE GERMAN VERSION IS NOT AFFECTED!

Unfortunately we have found a few more LABEL bugs in the English distribution the Person Files. The data is ok but incorrectly labeled.

You can download code in STATA, SPSS and SAS which can be copied and run. Simply edit the pathname of where you installed the data, at the top of the code chunk.

That will patch things up quickly. Sorry for any hassles caused.
