Bonn Intervention Panel¶

Short Description: The Bonn Intervention Panel (BIP) investigates the development of personality and preferences of children starting at the primary school age until age 25 and beyond. Main focus of our study is the impact of early childhood environment. In particular, we experimentally vary the childhood environment in our sample by giving a randomly chosen subgroup of the sample the opportunity to take part in a mentoring program.

The BIP was part of the SOEP-IS as a separate sample from 2014 to 2020. As it can only be compared to a limited extent with the rest of the Innovative Modules, it is only referred to in the year 2014 in this documentation. For more details please see the last field report of BIP in SOEP-IS (only available in German)
