Within the framework of the research project 'Opinions about the 1991 tax reform' three surveys were conducted.

A number of questions dealt with measures taken in consequence of the tax reform, such as change of housing, increased or decreased savings, change of work place, or more or less overtime. Background variables include information on gender, age, union membership, education, marital status, number of children living in the household, housing, income and occupation. If the respondent is married or cohabiting there is also information about the spouse´s occupation and income. Show less..
