Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF), 1970-2009 (ICPSR 145)
Released/updated on: 2006-06-19
Geographic coverage: Canada, South Korea, Great Britain, United States, Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Russia
The Cross-National Equivalent File 1970-2009 contains equivalently defined variables for the British Household Panel Study (BHPS), the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA), the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE), the Swiss Household Panel (SHP), the Canadian Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), and the German Socio-Economic Panel (G-SOEP). The data are designed to allow cross-national researchers not experienced in panel data analysis to access a simplified version of these panels, while providing experienced panel data users with guidelines for formulating equivalent variables across countries. Most importantly, the equivalent file provides a set of constructed variables (for example pre- and post-government income and United States and international household equivalence weights) that are not directly available on the original surveys. Since the Cross-National Equivalent File 1970-2009 can be merged with the original surveys, PSID-CNEF users can easily incorporate these constructed variables into current analyses.

Released/updated on: 2018-09-26
Geographic coverage: Germany
Time period: 1975-01-01--2019-01-01
The Establishment History Panel 1975-2023 (BHP 7519) is a 50% sample of all establishments throughout Germany with at least one employee subject to social security as of 30 June of a given year. Since 1999, establishments employing only marginal part-time workers have also been included in the data. For establishments in western Germany the observation period is 1975 to the present and for establishments in eastern Germany 1992 to the present. However, conclusive analyses for eastern Germany establishments are only possible from 1993 onwards. The data source for the BHP is the Employee History (Beschäftigten-Historik BeH) of the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). The data of individuals contained in the BeH are aggregated to the establishment level using the establishment numbers.

Integrated Public Use Microdata Series: North Atlantic Population Project (ICPSR 35985)
Released/updated on: 2015-06-18
Geographic coverage: Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, United States, Norway, Ireland, Egypt, Denmark, Mexico, Germany, Iceland, Albania
The North Atlantic Population Project (NAPP), which was created by research teams in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, is a massive integrated cross-national microdatabase that provides a baseline for studies of demographic change. This project improves the NAPP by tripling the size of the database to approximately 365 million records by adding 40 new datasets for the period 1787 to 1930 from Albania, Great Britain, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Iceland, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States. It also creates linked national panels and merges NAPP with the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS). NAPP provides a baseline for the study of changes in demography and health of European and North American populations. In each country, it provides the earliest census microdata available. It makes available some of the world's largest and longest-running cross-sectional and longitudinal data sources.

Linked Employer-Employee Data of the IAB: LIAB Cross-sectional Model 2, 1993-2019 (ICPSR 37158)
Released/updated on: 2018-10-01
Geographic coverage: Germany
Time period: 1993-01-01--2019-01-01
The Linked-Employer-Employee-Data of the IAB (LIAB) combine interviews from the IAB Establishment Panel with the related establishment and individual data generated in labor administration and social security data processing. The latter cover administrative establishment information from the Establishment History Panel (BHP) and the employment biographies of individuals employed by the interviewed establishments. The LIAB data allow for simultaneous analysis of the supply and demand side of the German labor market. Note: The population of establishments in the LIAB QM2 9321 is somewhat smaller than in the previous version, LIAB QM2 9319, due to changes in the way in which the linkage consent is surveyed from 2020 onwards. The LIAB QM2 9321 therefore no longer contains all the establishments surveyed in the IAB Establishment Panel.

Linked Employer-Employee Data of the IAB: LIAB Longitudinal Model, 1975-2017 (ICPSR 37159)
Released/updated on: 2018-10-01
Geographic coverage: Germany
Time period: 1975-01-01--2017-01-01
The Linked-Employer-Employee-Data of the IAB (LIAB) combine interviews from the IAB Establishment Panel with the related establishment and individual data generated in labor administration and social security data processing. The latter cover administrative establishment information from the Establishment History Panel (BHP) and the employment biographies of individuals employed by the interviewed establishments. The LIAB data allow for simultaneous analysis of the supply and demand side of the German labor market. The longitudinal model includes comprehensive employment biographies of individuals from a subsample of establishments repeatedly interviewed in the IAB Establishment Panel. Therefore, employment biographies can still be tracked in the events such as establishment changes or transitions into unemployment within this subgroup.

PASS Survey Data Linked to Administrative Data of the IAB, 1975-2020 (ICPSR 37160)
Released/updated on: 2018-10-01
Geographic coverage: Germany
Time period: 1975-01-01--2018-01-01
The Panel Labour Market and Social Security (PASS) is a central dataset for research on the labor market, poverty, and means-tested income support in Germany (German Social Code Book II). Established by the IAB in 2007, annual surveys are conducted in households registered as residents of Germany and who are in receipt of Unemployment Benefit II. Initially, a personal interview is carried out with the heads of all selected households. Subsequently, all members of the household aged 15 or over are interviewed. The Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security allows researchers to analyse the receipt of Unemployment Benefit II as well as the effects of receipt of social benefits on the economic and social situation of the affected households and individuals. Furthermore, PASS offers information beyond its central issues of employment and unemployment, comprising a variety of socio-demographic characteristics and subjective indicators such as contentment, fears and problems, or employment orientation.

Syntax for Creating a Comparative Dataset on Parents' Time Use in Four Countries, 2000-2003 (ICPSR 30021)
Released/updated on: 2011-08-31
Geographic coverage: United States, Norway, United Kingdom, Germany, Global
Time period: 2000-01-01--2003-01-01
This syntax harmonizes four nationally representative time-use datasets from the United States (2003), the United Kingdom (2000-2001), Germany (2001-2002) and Norway (2001). The dataset was created to examine parental time with children. It seeks to remedy several limitations of the Multinational Time Use Study (MTUS) datasets, circa 2006, for studying parents' time with children. Specifically, it improves upon data available by utilizing information about who else was present when each activity took place, using more detailed time-use codes, and retaining a wider variety of background variables.
The sample specified in the syntax is restricted to partnered respondents (married or cohabiting) who reside with children aged 14 years or under. Households with children aged 15 years and over and households containing other adults are not included to ensure comparability in the coding of who the respondent was with during each activity. Researchers wishing to use other inclusion criteria can simply alter the syntax provided.
To construct the dataset researchers must obtain the original, publicly-available data from each country directly (described in the User Guide) and then run the syntax available through the ICPSR Web site. Each dataset contains many more variables than we attempted or were able to harmonize. Documentation for each original dataset should be consulted for the availability of additional variables.

They were also asked for their overall opinion of various countries. Respondents were asked to give their opinion on other issues such as globalization, terrorism, and democracy. They were also asked questions concerning the United States. These included whether they think American foreign policy has a positive effect or negative effect on their country, whether the United States plays a positive, negative, or neutral role in the growth of the world economy, the role the United States plays in keeping peace in the world, the role the United States plays in the fight against poverty in the world, and the role the United States plays in the protection of the environment. Additional questions addressed respondents' thoughts on whether their country was governed by the will of the people and whether elections were free and fair. Demographic information includes sex, age, education level, employment status, religious preference, household income, and type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural).
