The book consists of five parts and a concluding chapter. Part 1 covers general problems and presents solutions for the harmonisation of data from different national and/or cultural contexts. In the second part EUROSTAT and ESOMAR present their established standard instruments. Tested instruments each covering one variable (i.e. occupation, education) are presented in the third part. The fourth part again includes suggested tools for the harmonisation of single variables for which standardised instruments are not yet available (i.e. age, religion, ethnicity, household, family, income). The last part presents selected empirical analyses demonstrating the use and fruitfulness of instruments presented before.
This book is mainly written for two groups. First, researchers and practitioners involved in comparative research in Europe. Second, researchers working with data of the statistical offices of European countries and data from institutions of the European Union.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Hardcover, ix + 413 pages, NOT ex-library. A very good, clean and bright copy, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Published without a dust jacket. -- This is a practical guide for social scientists engaged in the complex task of harmonizing survey data from different European countries. The work directly confronts the core problem of comparative research: that key socio-economic variables like education, occupation, and income are measured differently across national contexts, making direct comparison invalid. The book offers a systematic framework and concrete strategies for achieving functional equivalence, focusing on "ex-post" harmonization where data has already been collected. The analysis details the major international classification systems, such as ISCED for education and ISCO for occupations, and provides step-by-step procedures for recoding national-specific data into a single, comparable variable. This is an essential toolkit for any researcher seeking to conduct valid and reliable quantitative analysis using datasets like the European Social Survey or Eurobarometer. -- Contents: Measuring Demographic and Socio-Economic Variables in Cross-National Research: An Overview; -- I.
