Completeness of Data and Restrictions

To prevent identification of individuals, identifiers were removed from the data regarding respondents and third persons (e.g. names). Age and year of studies were categorised, information on stage of studies was removed, and degree programme was coarsened to only include Economics and Computer Science (one respondent's degree programme information was removed).

Two responses for which archiving permission was not received are not included in the archived data.
