There are two datasets which should be the building block of any analysis, as they allow to define longitudinal populations very easily: PPFAD and HPFAD. HPFAD includes all households which have been interviewed successfully at least once. Similarly, PPFAD contains all persons who have ever lived in a household that has participated in the SOEP, i.e. that has been captured in HPFAD, including non-respondents and children. Both datafiles contain one record per household or person, respectively, with wave-specific variables for each year’s survey status. In addition to some time-invariant information (like gender, year of birth, migrant status), these files contain all necessary identifiers to combine other files with PPFAD and HPFAD. 2 Variables in File HPFAD hhnr – Original Household Number hhnrakt – Current Household Number hsample – Sample Member 1[1] A 1984 Initial Sample (West) 8309 2[2] B 1984 Migration (until 1983, West) 2648 3[3] C 1990 Initial Sample (East) 4101 4[4] D 1994/5 Migration (1984-1994, West) 891 5[5] E 1998 Refreshment 1395 6[6] F 2000 Refreshment 7897 7[7] G 2002 High Income 1736 8[8] H 2006 Refreshment 1760 9[9] I 2009 Innovation Sample 1756 10 [10] J 2011 Refreshment 3493 11 [11] K 2012 Refreshment 1692 12 [12] L1 2010 Birth Cohort (2007-2010) 2273 13 [13] L2 2010 Family Type (Low-Income, Single-Parent, Large Families) 3079 14 [14] L3 2011 Family Type (Single-Parent, Large Families) 1095 15 [15] M1 2013 Migration (1995-2011) 3052 16 [16] M2 2015 Migration (2009-2013) 10021 17 [17] M3 2016 Refugee (2013-2015) 1698 18 [18] M4 2016 Refugee/family (2013-2015) 1638 19 [19] M5 2017 Refugee (2013-2016) 0 -1 [-1] No Answer 0 -2 [-2] Does not apply 0 -3 [-3] Answer improbable 0 -4 [-4] Inadmissible multiple response 0 -5 [-5] Not included in this version of the questionnaire 0 -6 [-6] Version of questionnaire with modified filtering 0 Unchanging sample membership at first contact with SOEP (at the point of selection of the original household into the sample).

For $HNETTO=2 there is only an entry in the file $HBRUTTO, but the HH could not be interviewed (the reason for which is given by the variable $HERGS in the file $HBRUTTO). [This information can be related to a specific variable and is not necessarily generic.] For more information, contact: Peter Krause (Tel. 030-89789-690) $HPOP – Sample Membership 1984 [generic] 1[1] Private HH, German HH-Head 4513 2[2] Private HH, Foreign HH-Head 1350 3[3] Institutionalized HH, German HH-Head 15 4[4] Institutionalized HH, Foreign HH-Head 43 -1 [-1] No Answer 0 -2 [-2] Does not apply 52613 -3 [-3] Answer improbable 0 -4 [-4] Inadmissible multiple response 0 -5 [-5] Not included in this version of the questionnaire 0 -6 [-6] Version of questionnaire with modified filtering 0 Waves: all $POP was derived from $WUM2 (in $HBRUTTO diffentiating private from institutional households) as well as $PNAT and $STELL (nationality and relationship to HH head in $PBRUTTO). Missing values are imputed taking into account respondent’s history. Thus the only admissible missing value is “-2”, which means “does not apply”. The variable is therefore of particular importance, as it is used to compute cross-sectional weights. The variable corresponds with $POP in PPFAD.

In connection with the SOEP concept of following SOEP respondents continuously from one year to the next, explicitly reflecting spatial mobility, households that leave the “area” of the original sample (former Federal Republic of Germany, within the borders existing up to 3 October 1990 for Samples A and B, or for the former GDR for Sample C) and continue to take part in SOEP are interviewed at their new address. Because of this interregional mobility between West and East Germany, which SOEP Survey Papers 484 5 SOEP Core study (v33.1) hpfad (v33.1) has been registered in SOEP since the second East wave (1991=Wave H), using the original sample number (which does not change over time) to distinguish households produces increasingly biased results for analyses differentiating between households in East and West Germany (Variable HSAMPLE; here H for “household” in comparison to PSAMPLE in the file PPFAD for “person”). The wave-specific variable $SAMPREG thus tells whether a HH was living in West or East Germany in the respective year.
