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).

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)

WageIndicator Survey of Living and Working in Coronavirus Times
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The WageIndicator Foundation has launched a continuous global online survey ‘Living and Working in Corona Times’. The purpose of the survey is to discover what makes the Coronavirus lockdown easier (or tougher) for citizens across 110 countries, and to gauge the effect of COVID-19 on jobs, lives and states of mind.
Link to resource
Why is this resource interesting?WageIndicator shows coronavirus-induced changes in living and working conditions in 110 countries. The survey reveals, from day to day, the consequences the large majority of the working population of the world experiences on the basis of answers on the following questions in the Corona survey:
- Is your work affected by the corona crisis?
- Are precautionary measures taken at the workplace?
- Do you have to work from home?
- Has your workload increased/decreased?
- Have you lost your job/work/assignments?

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),

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.

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).

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.

KOF Stringency Indices
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The KOF Stringency Index and KOF Stringency-Plus Index document the severity of the Covid-19 measures in Switzerland. The indices show the development of the lockdown rules over time and in comparison between the cantons. The values range from 0 (= no measures) to 100 (= complete lockdown).
Link to resource
The data has been available at national level and individually for all 26 cantons in Switzerland since January 2020 and are updated daily.
The KOF Stringency Index consists of the following nine sub-indices: school closings; company closures; cancellation of public events; convention restrictions; reduced use of public transport; rules to stay at home; nationwide exit restrictions; international travel restrictions and information campaigns for the population.
For the KOF StringencyPlus Index is adapting the original KOF Stringency Index in two dimensions: on the one hand, face coverings as an additional indicator are considered, and on the other, a further category to the sub-indicator “business closure” is added.

The ZPID Lockdown Measures Dataset for Germany
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Longitudinal data that represent public health measures can be a fruitful data source. The data set contains data on 14 governmental measures across the 16 German federal states. In comparison to existing datasets, the data set at hand is a fine-grained daily time series tracking the effective calendar date, introduction, extension, or phase-out of each respective measure. Based on self-regulation theory, measures were coded whether they did not restrict, partially restricted or fully restricted the respective behavioral pattern. The time frame comprises March 08, 2020 until May 15, 2020. The project is an open-source, ongoing project with planned continued updates in regular (approximately monthly) intervals.

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.

unacast Social Distancing Scoreboard
Public Health and MedicineUsing the location data from cell phones, Unacast calculates the average visitation for each day of the week prior to the COVID-19 outbreak (defined as March8th and earlier) as a baseline. Unacast then compares those baselines to visits on the corresponding days of the week post-pandemic, i.e., compare Saturdays to Saturdays. Importantly, the scores express the rate of change in how visit counts responded to the virus spreading, rather than absolute numbers of visits.
