2018 March
Project Number

Abstract
TILCOM systematically tracks economic expectations, emotional responses to economic
developments, and consumption coping in response to economic developments. TILCOM
furthermore relates this to specific topical themes.
The TILCOM survey is conducted each quarter among members of the LISS panel. The panel is divided into three groups, and for every measurement, two of these groups are interviewed. This means that each panel member will be presented a maximum of three TILCOM questionnaires per year.
In March and June 2015 no TILCOM questionnaire was fielded in the LISS panel.
This codebook describes the thirty-third TILCOM measurement, conducted in March 2018.
