Abstract

1. Introduction Our aim is to build a comparative database from existing household panel studies. 2. Elements of the Panel Database 2.1 Variables The database should contain as many comparable variables as possible. Each panel carries a set of variables which is identical from wave to wave, the core questions. These core questions are the candidates for variables to be standardized. By comparing the questionnaires of the different panel studies we will identify the core questions which are available in each of the studies. This comparison will produce a list of the core variables available in all the panel studies.
