Data Resources on the COVID-19 Pandemic

last update 2 years ago

A number of national and international research projects are currently underway that empirically record the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection is wide and ranges from snapshots of surveys with self-selected samples, representative surveys, longitudinal studies, experiments, etc..
IZA’s Research Data Center (IDSC) collects and curates the information on such new initiatives. Projects with high research output based on number of IZA Discussion Papers or otherwise are promoted especially as “featured resources” on the top of our website.
Please contact the IDSC of IZA for any suggestions of further content at idsc@iza.org.
