Innovative Modules
Over the years, various innovative modules have been surveyed in the SOEP-IS. An overview of the existing modules by year is listed below.
The “Upcoming Modules” show currently unpublished modules with the respective year of the data collection. Some of the modules have already been surveyed and are currently either being prepared for release or are under the publication embargo. The more recent modules may also be surveyed currently. New modules are added here in shortened form already shortly after the selection process of the latest official call for proposals. This means that some modules may also still in the development process. As the data is usually published three years after the survey year, the “Upcoming Modules” can be seen as a preview for future data publications. Information on the planned availability of the data can be found on the respective module pages.
