Running since 1984, the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) is a wide-ranging representative longitudinal study of private households, located at the German Institute for Economic Research, DIW Berlin. The aim of the SOEP Survey Papers Series is to thoroughly document the survey’s data collection and data processing. The SOEP Survey Papers is comprised of the following series: Series A – Survey Instruments (Erhebungsinstrumente) Series B – Survey Reports (Methodenberichte) Series C – Data Documentation (Datendokumentationen) Series D – Variable Descriptions and Coding Series E – SOEPmonitors Series F – SOEP Newsletters Series G – General Issues and Teaching Materials The SOEP Survey Papers are available at http://www.diw.de/soepsurveypapers Editors: Dr. Jan Goebel, DIW Berlin Dr. Christian Hunkler, DIW Berlin Prof. Dr. Philipp Lersch, DIW Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Dr. Levent Neyse, DIW Berlin and Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) Prof. Dr. Carsten Schröder, DIW Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Dr. Sabine Zinn, DIW Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Please cite this paper as follows: SOEP-IS Group, 2025.

SOEP Innovation Sample (2023) hpathl 1 Primary Key, Foreign Keys and Sample Information cid – Original Houshold Number, Case ID Case Id - Household Source Identifier (fixed). The fixed household source id point to the first SOEP ancestor households to which current households can be traced back to. This variable is relevant for sampling information and calculating the weights. hid – Current Wave HH Number The members and configuration of a household with a given ID (HID) can change between years. Depending on the respective research issue it may be necessary to check alterations using PPATHL, where persons are assigned to a household in each year. syear – Survey Year 1998 373 1999 388 2000 405 2001 428 2002 432 2003 443 2004 451 2005 463 2006 477 2007 476 2008 471 2009 1960 2010 2223 2011 1840 2012 4610 2013 6972 2014 7720 2015 4578 2016 8680 2017 4877 2018 4467 2019 4054 2020 4687 2021 2558 2022 3635 2023 13166 Survey year (Reference Year for survey instruments) sample1 – Subsample Identifier 1A German HH Head, West, 1984 0 2B1 Turkish HH Head, 1984 0 SOEP Survey Papers 1476 3

Missing values were imputed based on the person’s history. Thus, the only admissible missing value is –2, meaning not applicable. This variable is therefore particularly important, as it enters into the determination of cross-sectional weights. The variable corresponds with POP in PPATH/L. 4 Weighting hbleib – Inverse Staying Probability inverse probability weights SOEP Survey Papers 1476 5
SOEP Innovation Sample (2023) hpathl hhrf – PRELIMINARY: Weighting factor standard household weight. The weighting for the 2023 survey year is based on the previous year’s marginal distribution. The updated marginal distributions of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany for 2023 were not yet available to us at the time of the data release. We therefore ask you to apply the weighting for 2023 with caution. The newly drawn sample in 2023 had to be integrated into the weighting with the information on the marginal distributions of the previous year, which can lead to additional inaccuracies.
