Dataset Description:
This dataset contains detailed micro-level Swedish data on demographics, housing, income, consumption, financial wealth, and debt. It was used by Paolo Sodini, Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, Roine Vestman, and Ulf von Lilienfeld-Toal in their 2023 American Economic Review study, which exploits a quasi-random homeownership privatization program to estimate the causal effects of homeownership. The dataset enables analysis of wealth accumulation, portfolio risk-taking, and consumption smoothing across age groups.
