This is the first of what, it is hoped, will become an annual series of Wave Reports on the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey Study (SOEP). SOEP has now been running for a quarter of century (1984-2008). Twenty-five waves of data have been collected. So some respondents, about 2,500 middle aged and older people, have kindly agreed to be interviewed twenty-five times. The central theme of SOEP is ‘subjective ...
