Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government systematically collects information on policy stringency taken by governments to tackle the pandemic since February 2020. OxCGRT collects information on government policy responses across eight dimensions, namely: (i) school closures; (ii) workplace closures; (iii) public event cancellations; (iv) gathering restrictions; (v) public transportation closures; (vi) stay-at-home orders; (vii) restrictions on internal movement; and (viii) international travel bans. These dimensions are then used to calculate response indexes to COVID-19. Each index is rescaled to get a score between 0 and 100 (100 representing the highest degree of strictness/restriction).

Google's COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Google COVID-19 community mobility reports aim to provide insights into what has changed in response to policies aimed at combating COVID-19.
Link to resource
Why is this resource interesting?"The Google COVID-19 mobility reports aggregate anonymized sets of data from users’ mobile device location history. The mobility index measures how visits to, or length of stay at, different types of location change over time compared to a baseline period corresponding to January 3 - February 6, 2020. There are six location categories: (i) retail and recreation, (ii) grocery and pharmacy, (iii) parks (public gardens, dog parks, beaches, etc.), (iv) transit stations (public transport hubs such as subway, bus, train stations), (v) workplaces and (vi) residential areas.
Human mobility is tracked by Google daily and in a consistent manner across 131 countries. For a subset of countries, the information is provided at sub-national level." (IZA DP 13205)

Johns Hopkins University
Public Health and MedicineThe data repository for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Visual Dashboard operated by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (JHU CSSE).
Link to resource
Why is this resource interesting?The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 data "links data from the Robert Koch Institute, the World Health Organization, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Furthermore, official statistics from the Robert Koch Institute are downward biased on weekends, as some local administrations only report their case numbers on workdays. The data then enter the official statistics on Monday and Tuesday, yielding an upward bias of the statistics on new infections. We find that the data from the Johns Hopkins University (2020) are more robust to these biases." (Hartl, et al. 2020),

DJI Childcare Study COVID-19 Add-on
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The survey has been supplemented by a short additional module on the effects of the corona virus on the care of children up to primary school age since the beginning of the corona pandemic. Parents already interviewed at this time were also asked about the current changes in the care of their children due to corona as part of a follow-up study. In addition to the deviation from the "usual" care situation, the support received in organising childcare as well as changes in the parents' working behaviour will be surveyed. Over the field period from the end of March to the end of July 2020, the overall course of the collected information can provide information on the extent of the changes over time and the flexibility that families have to provide as well as the stabilisation of the care situation in the following months.

EUROSTAT Excess Mortality by Month
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The monthly excess mortality indicator is based on the exceptional data collection on weekly deaths that Eurostat set up, in April 2020, to support the policy and research efforts related to Covid-19. With that data collection, Eurostat's target was to provide quickly statistics assessing the changing situation of the total number of deaths on a weekly basis, from early 2020 onwards. National Statistical Institutes transmit available data on total weekly deaths, classified by sex, 5-year age groups and NUTS3 regions (NUTS2016) over the last 20 years, on a voluntary basis. The resulting online tables, and complementary metadata, are available in the folder Weekly deaths - special data collection (demomwk). In December 2020, Eurostat released a European Recovery Statistical Dashboard containing also indicators tracking economic and social developments, including health. In this context, “excess mortality” offers elements for monitoring and further analysing direct and indirect effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The monthly excess mortality indicator draws attention to the magnitude of the crisis by providing a comprehensive comparison of additional deaths amongst the European countries and allowing for further analysis of its causes. The number of deaths from all causes is compared with the expected number of deaths during a certain period in the past. The reasons for an excess mortality may vary according to different phenomena. The indicator is simply comparing the total number of deaths from all causes with the expected number of deaths during a certain period in the past (baseline).

It turns out that high-skilled workers, young individuals and women were more likely to sign up. Age increases the probability to take part in the hair sampling. People working in East Germany were more likely to consent to the linkage of survey data and administrative records.

Global Health 50/50 - Sex, Gender and COVID-19: Overview and Resources
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19As a key resource Global Health 50/50 COVID-19 Data Tracker collects and collates data reported by national governments. Cases and deaths are only reported when sex-disaggregated data is published by Governments. This means that sex-disaggregated data sometimes lag behind the figures for current infections and deaths and may only represent a portion of the overall confirmed cases or deaths within a country.
Link to resource
One can find sex-disaggregated data on confirmed cases, deaths, hospitalisations, ICU admissions, cases and deaths by age and sex and infections among healthcare workers. You can also find further information on why men appear to be dying at a higher rate than women, and some FAQs on COVID-19 data.

Google Health Trends API
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Google Health Trends API allows to measure the daily share of Google searches related to COVID-19 in each country, as well as globally. In contrast to the publicly available Google Trends database, Google Health Trends API comes with two advantages. First, the actual numbers are not scaled between 0 and 100 but instead, the values represent the share of Google searches that meet the query conditions as a share of all Google searches at a given date in a specific country. Thus, the variables are both more transparent in terms of construction and are continuous. Second, the scaling from 0 to 100 in publicly available Google Trends always depends on the countries and reference terms that are included. Google Health Trends API enables to achieve cross-country comparability without relying on reference countries. Furthermore, access to Google Health Trends API enables to query up to 30 search terms at a time. But Google Health Trends API does not have built-in translation capabilities.

Haushaltskrisenbarometer
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The most comprehensive evaluation of the corona crisis from the perspective of individual households: The Haushaltskrisenbarometer (Household Crisis Barometer) is supported by a cooperation between the Leibniz Institute for Financial Market Research SAFE, Nielsen-Frankfurt and the Chair of Finance and Economics at Goethe University Frankfurt.
Link to resource
The centerpiece is the evaluation of jointly developed questions that are answered every two weeks by the households of the Nielsen Consumer Panel. The high number of households surveyed continuously and the possibility of making the responses representative using statistical methods provide a reliable and timely picture of the economic situation, (consumption) behavior and expectations of the entire population. This is enriched by an insight into the actual purchasing behavior based on the purchases recorded for all households, and further background information.
The Nielsen Consumer Panel consists of around 20.000 households, of which around 16.000 are interviewed. These households have generally been members of the panel for years and submit all of their purchases in the Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) area every week.The inserted questions span a wide spectrum from the current economic situation to fears and expectations for the future (in German).

IAB Linked Personnel Panel (LPP)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The COVID-19 add-on survey shows how the everyday work of employees in medium-sized and large private-sector companies has changed during the COVID-19 crisis. The survey is particularly about transitions to short-time work, changes in working hours and place of work, communication and the compatibility of work and private life. The survey is trying to address especially the following questions: how short-time work is used; how short-time work has changed; how many are currently working from home and to what extent; how do employees communicate with each other; how do work, family and childcare evolve?
Link
The basis of the current online survey is the IAB Linked Personnel Panel (LPP), which consists of a longitudinal survey of German private-sector companies with at least 50 employees subject to social security contributions and randomly selected employees in these companies. From early April to end of May 2020 IAB surveyed around 1,200 employees online about their daily work during the Corona crisis. A second wave started in early June 2020.
The information is representative of people who work in private companies with at least 50 employees and who use digital information and communication technologies for work. This applies to around 40 percent of employees subject to social security contributions in Germany.

ifo Education Survey 2020 – Parent Survey
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The sample of parents: From the total sample of the ifo Education Survey, which includes a representative sample of the adult population in Germany all parents of school children have been asked to answer questions for their youngest school child about activities during the time of the Corona related school closures.
Link to resource
In this respect, this subsample is a "convenience sample" of parents of pupils at all general schools - elementary schools, secondary schools, junior high schools and comprehensive schools, grammar schools and other types of secondary schools -,due to the representativeness of the overall sample, and a good representation of the students at general education schools.
The parent survey includes a question about children's activities in the period before the school closures. The parent sample includes 1,099 parents of school children.
The first wave of the survey was conducted as part of a large education survey from 3 June to 1 July 2020. The second wave of the survey was in the field from 17 February to 10 March 2021.
Overall, 2,045 parents of children in schools were surveyed. In contrast to the first survey, the sample in the second survey was immediately restricted to parents, and quotas were again used to ensure representativeness along several dimensions including age, gender, state of residence, and education degree. A total of 513 respondents, equivalent to 47 percent of the original parent sample, were successfully recruited to participate again in the second wave. The sample allows to compare respondents’ answers in the first period of school closures and nearly one year later, and hence gain novel insights how individual families and schools adapted to the new realities brought on by the pandemic.

IMF Fiscal Monitor: Database of Country Fiscal Measures in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19This database summarizes key fiscal measures governments have announced or taken in selected economies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as of June 12, 2020, expanding the country coverage from the Annex in April 2020 Fiscal Monitor. The database categorizes different types of fiscal support (for example, above-the-line and below-the line measures, and contingent liabilities) that have different implications for public finances in the near term and beyond. Please refer to Box 1.1 of the April 2020 Fiscal Monitor for details. The database is not meant for classifying those measures in fiscal reporting, nor for comparison across economies as responses vary depending on country-specific circumstances, including the impact of the pandemic and other shocks. It focuses on government discretionary measures that supplement existing automatic stabilizers. These existing stabilizers differ across countries in their breadth and scope. Estimates included here are preliminary as governments are taking additional measures or finalizing the details of individual measures.

Why is this resource interesting?The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 data "links data from the Robert Koch Institute, the World Health Organization, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Furthermore, official statistics from the Robert Koch Institute are downward biased on weekends, as some local administrations only report their case numbers on workdays. The data then enter the official statistics on Monday and Tuesday, yielding an upward bias of the statistics on new infections. We find that the data from the Johns Hopkins University (2020) are more robust to these biases." (Hartl, et al. 2020),

On the Stability of Risk Preferences: Measurement Matters
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The data were collected at universities in different countries (Czechia, India, Mexico, and Spain) as part of a research project on language learning and migration intentions among university students. During the baseline survey, collected in 2019, prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, respondents were requested a permission to be contacted again for a follow-up survey, which took place in December 2020 and January 2021. The sample was restricted to countries with at least 20 respondents in the follow-up survey.
Link to resource
In both waves, the same two measures for risk attitudes were collected: self-assessed willingness to take risks (“stated willingness to take risks”), and an incentivized lottery decision task (“elicited willingness to take risks”). To measure within-individual variation in willingness to take risks, the sample was restricted to those respondents with information on both measures in both surveys who were still students at the time of the follow-up survey. The estimation sample consists of 303 individuals with information on risk preferences from 9 universities in Czechia, India, Mexico, and Spain; the share of women in the sample is 57% and the median age is 21 years.

Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government systematically collects information on policy stringency taken by governments to tackle the pandemic since February 2020. OxCGRT collects information on government policy responses across eight dimensions, namely: (i) school closures; (ii) workplace closures; (iii) public event cancellations; (iv) gathering restrictions; (v) public transportation closures; (vi) stay-at-home orders; (vii) restrictions on internal movement; and (viii) international travel bans. These dimensions are then used to calculate response indexes to COVID-19. Each index is rescaled to get a score between 0 and 100 (100 representing the highest degree of strictness/restriction).

Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The core of the Real-Time Population Survey (RPS) online survey closely follows the core labor market questions in the BLS’s primary household survey, the Current Population Survey (CPS). Because it closely follows the CPS, it is possible to compute labor market estimates consistent with the government measures. This means that the results can be viewed as real-time predictions of the official government statistics, except available up to six weeks ahead of time and updated twice as often. This is one of the key distinctive features compared to other recent studies using online surveys to gauge the state of the US labor market.

The samples are surveyed every two weeks (samples 1 to 5) or every week (samples 5 to 9) in order to record the chronological course of the crisis and the associated effects on private households. A total of 12,000 households were asked to participate in the "SOEP-CoV" study. At the beginning of the study, more households are surveyed than towards the end. With this design, the scientists take into account the assumption that the effects of the crisis are likely to be more severe at the beginning and to decrease over time (in German).

Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The Job Search Supplement to the Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE) administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been administered annually each October since 2013. The supplement asks a broad range of questions on one’s current employment state, job search activity, employment history, and work preferences (e.g., reservation wage, desired work hours). SCE data are for October of each year, so the 2020 survey elicits responses about six months after the initial spike in Covid cases and lockdown period, while the 2021 survey elicits responses between the major waves of the delta and omicron Covid variants and during a period of relatively strong labor market growth. The 2020 and 2021 SCE Job Search Supplements have additional survey questions that focus on issues specific to the Covid pandemic. These include follow-ups to its questions on reasons for not looking for work and reasons for part-time search that elicit whether the Covid pandemic accounted for these reasons and in what way (e.g., child care issues, fear of contracting the virus, caring for someone who was sick, etc.). The new questions also ask about schooling, online learning, and other aspects of the household that may affect the respondent’s labor supply decision.

Survey Research Methods During the COVID-19 Crisis
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19SRM presents a special issue on survey research during the COViD-19. The issue collects four types of papers: (1) Commentaries about ongoing research using surveys, or related methods. (2) Proposals of designs to study Coronavirus-related questions using survey research, (3) New research initiatives related to the pandemic that already started. (4) Descriptions of the adaptation of ongoing surveys (PSID, Share, Understanding Society, etc.) to the lockdown policies. In order to allow a swift publication of the papers, SRM changed its standard reviewing process and suspended the possibility for a revise and resubmit for papers that could make it into the issue with more rounds of revisions. The papers are considered to be contributions to ongoing debates instead of decisive research papers. Therefore they are published together with commentaries by peers, and sometimes with responses by the authors of the main article.

The Bank of Canada COVID‑19 Stringency Index
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19In Canada, responsibility for policy measures that have been put in place to protect people against the community transmission of COVID‑19 falls primarily on the provinces. Provincial governments have taken different approaches to containing the spread of COVID‑19. These have varied over time as governments have responded to changing rates of infection and hospitalization and new information about the effectiveness of different measures. This note focuses on the Bank of Canada’s stringency index—a measure of containment policies and public information campaigns. Since summer 2020, staff at the Bank have been collecting publicly available information on government policies and creating daily government response indexes for the 10 provinces.

Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of organizations have begun tracking implementation of Public health and social measures (PHSMs) around the world, using different data collection methods, database designs and classification schemes. A unique collaboration between WHO, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, ACAPS, University of Oxford, Global Public Health Intelligence Network, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Complexity Science Hub Vienna has brought these datasets together, using a common taxonomy and structure, into a single, open-content dataset for public use.

The project has two stages and different databases are associated with each stage: in stage 1, the datasets from each of the seven providers were formatted and coded but not cleaned or altered, apart from standardizing country, territory or area names to those used by the WHO. This database has duplicate records if more than one dataset reported the same measure. In stage 2, duplicates were removed, PHSM coding was validated and verified beyond what the dataset providers have already done, additional variables were coded for each measure, and records are closed if the measure is no longer in place.

UK Time-Use Diary Survey: The Click and Drag Diary Instrument (CaDDI)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19In 2016 the Centre for Time Use Research has developed a new online Click and Drag Diary Instrument (CaDDI), collecting population-representative (quota sample) from a market research panel across 9 developed countries including the UK and the USA. They have fielded the same instrument with a similar UK sample, in May-June 2020 -at the peak period of lockdown-, providing a real-time comparison with 2016 behavior. Diaries were collected on 2 or 3 days per respondent (including one weekday and one weekend day), yielding approximately 1,000 diaries in each survey. Response quality was comparable to other on-line diaries, with a mean of 17 distinct episodes recorded each day, and with unusually low levels of missing primary activity,location and co-presence data.

University College London (UCL) COVID-19 Social Study
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The UCL COVID-19 Social Study is a large panel study of the psychological and social experiences of over 75,000 adults (aged 18+) in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study commenced on 21st March 2020 and involves online weekly data collection from participants for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The study is not random and therefore is not representative of the UK population. But it does contain a well-stratified sample that was recruited using three primary approaches. First, snowballing was used, including promoting the study through existing networks and mailing lists (including large databases of adults who had previously consented to be involved in health research across the UK), print and digital media coverage, and social media. Second, more targeted recruitment was undertaken focusing on (i) individuals from a low-income background, (ii) individuals with no or few educational qualifications, and (iii) individuals who were unemployed. Third, the study was promoted via partnerships with third sector organizations to vulnerable groups, including adults with pre-existing mental health conditions, older adults, carers, and people experiencing domestic violence or abuse. The study was approved by the UCL Research Ethics Committee [12467/005] and all participants gave informed consent.
