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.

  • IAB-BAMF-SOEP COVID-19 Survey of Refugees (CSR)

    Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19

    The CSR is being developed as a telephone survey intended to capture the effects of the Corona-Crisis on refugees living in Germany. The survey will be administered to participants of the IAB-BAMF-SOEP COVID-19 Survey of Refugees, a longitudinal household survey of refugees who arrived in Germany between 2013 and 2016. The main survey will be fielded in August 2020 pending unforeseen delays. However, given the high demand for timely data on this vulnerable population, the cooperating institutions decided to carry out the CSR before the main survey. In addition to items about the physical and mental health of the respondent and household members, the CSR questionnaire includes items concerning changes to labor market participation and earnings, childcare, time use, social life, and wellbeing due to the lockdown measures. Respondents also receive questions related to changes in language course participation and participation in further educational activities.
