The workshop is part of the SOEP-LEE2 project and brings together research on resilience, crisis responses, digital transformation, and cyber security, with a particular emphasis on empirical work using survey and linked data on firms, employees, and households. It will also showcase new data resources from the SOEP research infrastructure.
Economic crises, geopolitical tensions, and rapid technological change are profoundly transforming firms, labor markets, and households. At the same time, the diffusion of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, remote work, and cyber risks is reshaping organizational structures, work practices, and economic behavior. Understanding these developments requires high-quality data that links individuals, households, and organizations.
