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.

  • COVID-19 Symptom Survey

    Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19

    The COVID-19 symptom surveys are designed to help researchers better monitor and forecast the spread of COVID-19. In partnership with University of Maryland and Carnegie Mellon University, Facebook users are invited to take surveys conducted by these two partner universities to self-report COVID-19-related symptoms.
    The questionnaire asks about current symptoms, access to testing, testing outcome, and contacts outside of their home. Other items included self-reported household financial outlookand indicators for nervousness, depression, and anxiety, adapted from the K10 scale. A 5 day “look back” period was used for mental health measures, in order to examine these constructs in a rapidly changing environment.
    Non-public, non-aggregated US and non-US (daily) survey data are available after Facebook's and partner universities' approval.
