Research methods

The main work of the consortium was to create the comparative micro database of CHER, which contains comparable variables transformed according to a common plan and was built by using standardized international classifications where available. 
Information in these files are available 
(a) for households and individuals on the micro level, 
(b) for single years and 
(c) as longitudinal information, all of them linked to macro and institutional data. 

Monitoring pension developments through micro socio economic instruments based on individual data sources: feasibility study (PENMICRO), commissioned by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities 

The goal of the research is to investigate the relative size and internal distribution of unit nonresponse and non-contact segments of the Hungarian population in the case of empirical social surveys. In our research, we determine the internal probabilities of being contacted and to be ready to participate if contacted. Also, our research goal is to determine “other factors” (auxiliary information) that might affect probabilities in the last stage of sampling (to be ready to participate if contacted).
