Data Resources on the COVID-19 Pandemic

last update vor 2 Jahren

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.

    Technological Development

    OpenSAFELY is a new secure analytics platform for electronic health records in the UK NHS, created to deliver urgent results during the global COVID-19 emergency. It is now successfully delivering analyses across more than 24 million patients’ full pseudonymised primary care NHS records. All analytic software is open for security review, scientific review, and re-use. OpenSAFELY uses a new model for enhanced security and timely access to data: no transport large volumes of potentially disclosive pseudonymised patient data outside of the secure environments managed by the electronic health record software company; instead, trusted analysts can run large scale computation across near real-time pseudonymised patient records inside the data centre of the electronic health records software company.
