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.

    Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19

    The Homebase (HB) data consists of daily records of volume of hours worked by employees, the number of businesses open at all, the number of employees working, and wages of employees, linked longitudinally to the establishment where they work and the firm that controls the establishment. The data is recorded in real-time through HB’s proprietary software and is used for payroll processing.
    The HB data also contains an industry category for each establishment, but the available categories do not directly line up with standard industry classification. However, HB establishment records maybe matched by name or address to other Points of Interest (POI), geographic information or standard industry classifications.
