For who might be interested, or is already involved, with research using data from household panels, note that the Dutch LISS panel was added to the Comparative Panel File (CPF), which is a fully open-source, crowd-based harmonization initiative in the social sciences.
It has been developed by Konrad Turek, Matthijs Kalmijn, and Thomas Leopold. The CPF brings together data from seven major international household panels, enabling large-scale, cross-national research on life courses and households.
The CPF provides comprehensive harmonized panel data from Australia (HILDA), Korea (KLIPS), United States (PSID), Switzerland (SHP), Germany (SOEP), United Kingdom (UKHLS), and the Netherlands (LISS):
Konrad Turek discusses the differences between the conventional and 'coordinated open-source model as a promising organizational scheme that can supplement conventional research infrastructure in certain areas' in his (open-access) paper: Turek, K. (2025). Accelerating social science knowledge production with the coordinated open-source model. Quality & Quantity, 59(Suppl 2), 767-795. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11135-024-02020-7
Stata users will like the availabiliy of a set of do files with CPF’s syntax for running the harmonization code, downloadable from here, or from the CPF Github page, also for the CPF Manual and CPF Codebook.
