Student loans and grades in microdata.no

How do the student loans effect our behaviour? What effects our use of student loans? The new release of microdata.no offers data on student loans and grants for you to use as a dependent or independent variable, for instance merged with new data on results from primary school and income updated to newest available release.

On 13 April the microdata.no database was extended with six variables on student loans and grants and 18 on position grades out of primary school. Loans and grants cover the period 2002 – 2019. Data on grades start with the school year 2001/2002 continuing with every year up to 2019/2020, i.e. the latest completed.

In the new release we also updated 52 variables on income to cover the latest available information; the income year 2019.

Microdata.no now offers 258 variables on population, education, income, welfare, employment, housing conditions and child welfare, all updated to the newest available release.
