  • Derivation of data:
    Respondent’s personal income

    Since 2002, income has been surveyed in EURO in ALLBUS. In order to maintain the intercomparability of the data and with a view to future ALLBUS-surveys, the income data from ALLBUS 1980 to 2000 has been converted from DM to EURO values for this cumulated data set. As practiced in ALLBUS 2002 (cf. the interviewer instructions in V913 or #S61_1 in the questionnaire for ZA No. 3700 ALLBUS 2002), the DM figures were divided by two and the result subsequently rounded to integers.

    The collection of income data has been modified over time in order to maximize the number of valid responses:

    In 1980 and 1982 the respondent's personal income was surveyed using a single, open question (V913). From 1984, a second question using a list of categories (V914) was added as a follow up for those who refused to answer the open question. From 1986 to 1992 only respondents who lived in multi-person households were asked to specify their personal income. For respondents living in one-person households, household income (V918) was assumed to equal personal income.

    Variable V913 contains the consolidated information of all open questions concerning the respondent's personal income, including the responses of one-person households (V918) from the years 1986-1992. Categorization and integration of this data with the data from the list query was forgone, because there is no unequivocal way of mapping the data from one variable onto the second. V915 provides an example for a consolidation of all data on the respondent's personal income. This variable also includes data from the list query.

    When analyzing income data, please decide for yourself whether you want to include as valid data persons or households that report a zero income. By default, these cases are already coded as 0, but are defined as missing data.
