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.

CLS | COVID-19 Survey
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19During the coronavirus pandemic, we have been running a series of surveys to find out about the experiences of the participants in five national longitudinal cohort studies. The aim is to understand the economic, social and health impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, the extent to which the pandemic is widening or narrowing inequalities, and the lifelong factors which shape vulnerability and resilience to its effects. We have now completed three waves of the survey. Participants in all four of the national longitudinal cohort studies that we manage at CLS, as well as participants in the MRC National Survey of Health and Development, have taken part. In March 2021, study participants who had taken part in any of these three COVID-19 surveys were asked to provide a blood sample to be analysed for COVID-19 antibodies.

COVID-19 is Rapidly Changing: Examining Public Perceptions and Behaviors in Response to this Evolving Pandemic.
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The researchers conducted an online survey of Australian residents between 18 and 24 March 2020. Proportional quota sampling was used to ensure that respondents were demographically representative of the general public, with quotas based on age, gender and state/territory. Respondents were required to be 18 years or older and to speak English.
Link to resource
Respondents were asked to rate the perceived level of effectiveness in reducing the risk from COVID-19. These items included those promoted by the government and those that were not (mask use when not symptomatic, taking antibiotics). The strategies were grouped into: hygiene related behaviors (hand washing/sanitizing, cleaning surfaces) and avoidance-related behaviors (avoiding crowds, public transport, and complying with quarantine restrictions). Included was also a question that assessed the respondent’s ability to adopt to different social distancing strategies (working from home, keeping children home from school, avoiding travelling, avoiding large crowds, quarantine if exposed, and isolation if symptomatic. The last section of the survey included items focused on self-isolation. Respondents were asked to comment on their willingness to comply, their level of concern regarding the impact on being placed into self-isolation (at home), their ability to comply, their access to assistance from family/friends and issues they have with the strategy.

COVID-19, Face Mask Usage and Cooperation
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19This study investigates the relationship between face mask usage and cooperative behaviour in the US population during the Covid-19 pandemic. Social preferences are assumed to be one of the main determining factors of face mask usage. However, the decision to wear a face mask in public could also signal the wearer’s latent political identity, subsequently altering other’s perception of the wearer’s willingness to cooperate. The bi-directional relationship between these two variables is investigated in a randomised online survey experiment.

German Job Search Panel
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The German Job Search Panel is a longitudinal survey that follows people who register as job seeking over the course of up to two years. The focus of the survey is on job seekers’ well-being and health. An innovative survey app is used to allow for frequent measurement every month and for conducting the experience sampling method. The collected data may be linked to administrative records of the Federal Employment Agency, provided that people give their consent. A subsample of surveyed job seekers took part in hair sampling to measure their cortisol levels. In this report, we describe the sampling procedure, adjustments over the recruitment period and the collected data. We moreover examine selective participation in the panel. 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.

SOEP-CoV
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19A sample of more than 12,000 people has been interviewed by telephone for SOEP-CoV since the beginning of April. A second survey will take place if the infection rate has decreased significantly. The starting point for the surveys is the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). 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).
