The overall goal of the project is to complement existing panels in industrialized countries by establishing a unique, multipurpose and long-term socio-economic panel in the emerging economies of Thailand and Vietnam. The data are made accessible to the international research community free of charge.
The TVSEP database consists of seven household- and five village panel waves, which were collected during the period of 2007 to 2017. The household and village surveys were conducted with a sample of almost 4400 households in 440 villages in rural areas of six provinces in Thailand and Vietnam.
