The Comparative Panel File (CPF) harmonizes the world's largest and longest-running household panel surveys from seven countries: Australia (HILDA), Germany (SOEP), United Kingdom (BHPS and UKHLS), South Korea (KLIPS), Russia (RLMS), Switzerland (SHP), and the United States (PSID). The project aims to support the social science community in the analysis of comparative life course data. The CPF builds on the Cross-National Equivalent File but offers a larger range of variables, larger and more recent samples, an easier and more flexible workflow, and an open science platform for development. The CPF is not a data product but an open-source code that integrates individual and household panel data from all seven surveys into a harmonized three-level data structure. The CPF allows analysing individual trajectories, time trends, contextual effects, and country differences. The project is organized as an open science platform. The CPF version 1.0 contains 2.7 million observations from 360,000 respondents, covering the period from 1968 to 2019 and up to 40 panel waves per respondent. In this data brief, we present the background, design, and content of the CPF.
比较面板文件(CPF)整合了来自七个国家的全球规模最大、持续时间最长的家庭面板调查:澳大利亚(HILDA)、德国(SOEP)、英国(BHPS和UKHLS)、韩国(KLIPS)、俄罗斯(RLMS)、瑞士(SHP)和美国(PSID)。该项目旨在支持社会科学界对比较生命历程数据进行分析。CPF以跨国等效文件为基础,但提供了更广泛的变量、更大且更新的样本、更简便灵活的工作流程以及一个用于开发的开放科学平台。CPF不是一个数据产品,而是一个开源代码,它将来自所有七项调查的个人和家庭面板数据整合为一个统一的三级数据结构。CPF允许分析个人轨迹、时间趋势、背景效应和国家差异。该项目被组织成一个开放科学平台。CPF 1.0版本包含来自36万名受访者的270万条观测数据,涵盖1968年至2019年期间,每位受访者最多有40个面板波次。在本数据简报中,我们介绍了CPF的背景、设计和内容。
