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.

  • Trustlab OECD Initiative

    Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19

    The survey is part of the Trustlab initiative conducted in the United States. This initiative combines largescale incentivized economic experiments with a survey on a broad range of questions on the determinants of trust. The data collection of the second wave of the Trustlab started on the 12th of June 2020, at a time when Corona cases and deaths in the U.S. were quickly growing and was completed on the 7th of September in the same year. The questionnaire of this second wave of the Trustlab captured a set of questions related to the COVID-19 pandemic which constitute our main variables of interest, ranging from self-reported (protective) behavior over worries about the spread in the local community to opinions about the political management of the crisis. The sample contains 1,120 participants and is broadly representative of the U.S. working-age population in terms of age, gender, and income.
