As a complement to my recent paper on “Generations and Protest in Eastern Germany,” I have prepared a vignette explaining how to identify East and West Germans in the European Social Survey (ESS), while accounting for east-west migration in Germany. The categorization follows a political socialization approach. You can find the vignette here:
“Identifying East and West Germans in the European Social Survey: A demonstration in R”
The vignette was writen in R markdown and the original script is available on my GitHub page.
