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.

  • NEPS Research on COVID-19 and Education

    Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19

    As part of the NEPS (National Educational Panel Study), the largest long-term education study in Germany, all participants are being interviewed on the occasion of the corona pandemic. In the current as well as all future surveys the researchers want to determine the current experiences and impressions of the NEPS participants in times of the corona crisis and thus make them useful for educational research.
    The focus is on questions about people's everyday lives in school, work and family: How have you been doing since the outbreak of the corona pandemic? How has your everyday life changed? What are you worried about? What has perhaps also developed positively?
    All data collected in this way can be used to obtain a differentiated picture of the corona effects on the educational biographies of the respondents (in German).
