German Internet Panel (GIP) – Module "Inflation" November Wave 2014 ; Cognitive Online-Pretest
The German Internet Panel (GIP) is part of the collaborative research center 884 "The Political Economy of Reforms" (CRC 884) at the University of Mannheim. The GIP is the central data collection instrument at the CRC and provides information about individual reform preferences and their change in several research teams. At the same time GIP is the first longitudinal study conducted online that is based on a random sample of the population. It also includes people who did not have access to computers and/or internet before by providing them with the necessary equipment. In preparation of a sub-module about "inflation" for the panel-wave in November 2014, some questions were tested in an online-pretest from a methodological angle to potentially improve them. *Note: The items were tested in German.
