Google Mobility Reports
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Google COVID-19 community mobility reports aim to provide insights into what has changed in response to policies aimed at combating COVID-19.
Link to resource
Why is this resource interesting?"The Google COVID-19 mobility reports aggregate anonymized sets of data from users’ mobile device location history. The mobility index measures how visits to, or length of stay at, different types of location change over time compared to a baseline period corresponding to January 3 - February 6, 2020. There are six location categories: (i) retail and recreation, (ii) grocery and pharmacy, (iii) parks (public gardens, dog parks, beaches, etc.), (iv) transit stations (public transport hubs such as subway, bus, train stations), (v) workplaces and (vi) residential areas. Human mobility is tracked by Google daily and in a consistent manner across 131. For a subset of countries, the information is provided at sub-national level." (IZA DP 13205)

Link to resource
Why is this resource interesting?The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 data "links data from the Robert Koch Institute, the World Health Organization, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Furthermore, official statistics from the Robert Koch Institute are downward biased on weekends, as some local administrations only report their case numbers on workdays. The data then enter the official statistics on Monday and Tuesday, yielding an upward bias of the statistics on new infections. We find that the data from the Johns Hopkins University (2020) are more robust to these biases." (Hartl, et al. 2020),

Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT)
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Governments are taking a wide range of measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. This tool aims to track and compare policy responses around the world, rigorously and consistently.
Link to resource
Why is this resource interesting?"This tracker implemented by the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government systematically collects information on the measures taken by governments to tackle the pandemic since February 2020 . OxCGRT is based on publicly avail-able information on 13 indicators of government response (policies such as school closures, ban son public gatherings or travel, etc., and financial indicators such as fiscal or monetary measures). Each indicator is re-scaled to get a score between 0 and 100 (100 representing the highest degree of strictness/restriction)." (IZA DP 13205)

Samples of 1,000 adults in the US and UK were obtained from a professional survey company using quota sampling to obtain national samples broadly representative for those of working age with some oversampling to reflect contrasts of interest. All survey recruitment and completion was done by electronic means (so via phones or personal computers but not face-to-face meetings). Towards the end of the sampling period some of the quotas were relaxed. Ex post, a set of weights that can be used to construct nationally representative results. Respondents were paid a small amount for completing the survey which took about 5 minutes on average to complete. It is important to reiterate that survey responses are self reports and that said, overall reported infection rates are comparable to those reported elsewhere for the UK and US bearing in mind the predominance of early transmission experience.

The dataset contains several variables related to transmission experience while the analysis focuses on the possession of a medical diagnosis or positive test self-reported by the respondent.

Facebook’s Movements Range Data
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19The data inform researchers and public health experts about how populations are responding to physical distancing measures. The Facebook data is the only data in finer spatial scales, at the county-level. Hence. the size of the data is big without any level of aggregation at the provincial level. These datasets have two different metrics: Change in Movementand Stay Put. The Change in Movement metric looks at how much people are moving around and compares it to a baseline period that predates most social distancing measures. The Stay Put metric looks at the fraction of the population that appears to stay within a small area surrounding their home for an entire day. (IZA DP 13376)

Google Health Trends API
Open Data and Surveys Related to COVID-19Google Health Trends API allows to measure the daily share of Google searches related to COVID-19 in each country, as well as globally. In contrast to the publicly available Google Trends database, Google Health Trends API comes with two advantages. First, the actual numbers are not scaled between 0 and 100 but instead, the values represent the share of Google searches that meet the query conditions as a share of all Google searches at a given date in a specific country. Thus, the variables are both more transparent in terms of construction and are continuous. Second, the scaling from 0 to 100 in publicly available Google Trends always depends on the countries and reference terms that are included. Google Health Trends API enables to achieve cross-country comparability without relying on reference countries. Furthermore, access to Google Health Trends API enables to query up to 30 search terms at a time. But Google Health Trends API does not have built-in translation capabilities.

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).

Important issues include not only the extent to which young companies take personnel measures, such as applying for short-time work benefits, reducing working hours, arranging home offices, etc. But also to what extent young companies were able to conquer market niches due to the corona pandemic. It is planned to repeat this survey in autumn 2020 to find out how the companies will develop.
