LISS Data Archive

Last updated: 9 May 2025 at 10:52.

The LISS Data Archive contains three main sources of data. The Background variables contain monthly-updated socio-economic and demographic information. The LISS Core Study is an annual longitudinal survey consisting of multiple questionnaires covering a broad range of topics. The Assembled Studies contain surveys and experiments conducted as paid or externally funded assignments. You can browse studies and download codebooks and datasets. Each dataset contains the variable ‘nomem_encr’ with unique panel member IDs, which can be used to merge datasets together. (Source: LISS Data Archive website)
