Introduction

As a complement to my (Philippe Joly's) paper on “Generations and Protest in Eastern Germany,” I have prepared a vignette explaining how to identify East and West Germans in the European Social Survey (ESS), while accounting for east-west migration in Germany. The categorization follows a political socialization approach.

The vignette was written in R Markdown and the html output is available on my website.
