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).

During the baseline survey, collected in 2019, prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, respondents were requested a permission to be contacted again for a follow-up survey, which took place in December 2020 and January 2021. The sample was restricted to countries with at least 20 respondents in the follow-up survey.

In both waves, the same two measures for risk attitudes were collected: self-assessed willingness to take risks (“stated willingness to take risks”), and an incentivized lottery decision task (“elicited willingness to take risks”). To measure within-individual variation in willingness to take risks, the sample was restricted to those respondents with information on both measures in both surveys who were still students at the time of the follow-up survey. The estimation sample consists of 303 individuals with information on risk preferences from 9 universities in Czechia, India, Mexico, and Spain; the share of women in the sample is 57% and the median age is 21 years.

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).

Perceptions of the Adult US Population Regarding the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Data were collected using an online survey in early February 2020. Researchers asked participants to rank who they felt should lead the US response to COVID-19. Options included the President, Congress, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Director for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In addition, participants completed a perceived risk scale which had 10 survey-items. Participants were also asked about their support for restrictive infection prevention policies and the reliability of various sources of information.
