The aim of the project is to repeatedly get an insight into how the population perceives the corona pandemic: how the “psychological situation” is emerging. The aim is to to monitor public perceptions of risk, protective and preparedness behaviors, public trust, as well as knowledge and misinformation to enable government spokespeople, the media, and health organizations to implement adequate responses.

EUCLID-Project Risk Perceptions & Behavior in the Context of the Current Coronavirus Outbreak

In response to the ongoing public health emergency due to the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 and the associated disease COVID-19) outbreak worldwide, the University of Konstanz developed an online survey “EUCLID” to track: 1. Subjective health & symptoms, 2. Perceived risk & outbreak related perceptions, 3. Protection motivation & behavior, 4. Expected future developments of the current outbreak.
The online panel (Prolific Academic), was conducted with social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter), and email lists using a snowball system. Participation is voluntary and as compensation, participants could take part in a lottery. Data collection started February 02, 2020 as part of a student project.
The EUCLID study was carried out as part of the RiskDynamics (FOR 2374) research group funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Center of Excellence Cluster for the Advanced Study of Collective Behavior at the University of Konstanz. The surveys are continued on an ongoing basis in 15 countries (July 2020).

EUROSTAT Excess Mortality by Month

The 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).

Global Health 50/50 - Sex, Gender and COVID-19: Overview and Resources

As 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.
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

Google 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

The 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.
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).

IMF Fiscal Monitor: Database of Country Fiscal Measures in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

This 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.

Parents During the Corona Crisis

A comprehensive overview on the combined effects of the corona crisis on parents, childcare, the labor market and the perspective of partners, has so far been lacking. The study ties in here and examines the effects of the Corona crisis on parents, taking into account both the family and the world of work. It closes a gap in current research on the Corona crisis.
The study gives an overview of the magnitudes of parent groups affected by the closure of day-nurseries and schools and the changes in the labor market in the months of the lockdown. Four topics that achieved relevance during the crisis are also examined in more detail: parents in systemically relevant professions, working from home as a solution, division of labor between women and men, psychological consequences of the crisis for parents.
The study is based on special evaluations of the latest Microcensus from the German Federal Statistical Office (2018) and on a few special questions injected in German Internet Panel for the Mannheim Corona Study (in German).

Real-Time Population Survey (RPS)

The 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.
