Smith, Tom W.; Hout, Michael; Marsden, Peter V.
Since 1972, the General Social Survey (GSS) has been monitoring societal change and studying the growing complexity of American society. The GSS aims to gather data on contemporary American society in order to monitor and explain trends and constants in attitudes, behaviors, and attributes; to examine the structure and functioning of society in general as well as the role played by relevant subgroups; to compare the United States to other societies in order to place American society in comparative perspective and develop cross-national models of human society; and to make high-quality data easily accessible to scholars, students, policy makers, and others, with minimal cost and waiting. GSS questions include such items as national spending priorities, marijuana use, crime and punishment, race relations, quality of life, and confidence in institutions. Since 1988, the GSS has also collected data on sexual behavior including number of sex partners, frequency of intercourse, extramarital relationships, and sex with prostitutes.
The 2014 GSS has modules on quality of working life, shared capitalism, wealth, work and family balance, social identity, social isolation, and civic participation. In 1985 the GSS co-founded the International Social Survey Program (ISSP). The ISSP has conducted an annual cross-national survey each year since then and has involved 58 countries and interviewed over one million respondents. The ISSP asks an identical battery of questions in all countries; the U.S. version of these questions is incorporated into the GSS. The 2014 ISSP topics are National Identity and Citizenship. Demographic variables include age, gender, race, ethnicity, education, marital status, religion, employment status, income, household structure, and whether respondents were born in the United States.

Kraemer, Kenneth L.
Kraemer, Kenneth L.
This study examined the electronic commerce of establishments across ten
nations. Topics included a respondent selection/filter section containing
questions about which industry represents their site's primary business, whether their organization had one or more than one establishment, the
number of employees at the establishment, and whether they used the Internet to
buy, sell, or support products or services. A second topic was the globalization
of the firm and the globalization of markets and sourcing. For this section,
respondents were asked whether any of their establishments or their headquarters
were located outside of their country. In addition, respondents identified the
total number of employees in all branches of the organization, the percentage of
total sales and total procurement spending from outside of their country, and
how much they were affected by competitors in the local area, or inside or
outside the country. A third topic was the use of E-commerce technologies. This
section queried respondents about their use of computers and email, whether
they had a publicly accessible Web site, and if they utilized an intra-net,
extra-net, electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic funds transfer (EFT),
and a call center. A fourth topic was uses of the Internet, drivers for Internet
use, barriers/difficulties to doing business on the Internet, and impacts of
doing business online. For this section, respondents were asked about the
purpose of using the Internet, whether they were familiar with an Internet
marketplace, their participation as a buyer, a seller, or both in an Internet-
based trading community, and whether they provide or plan to provide content and
services for mobile customer access. Additionally, respondents were asked to
rate the significance certain factors and obstacles had on doing business
online, and the degree to which they experienced certain impacts since they
began doing business online. A fifth topic was online sales, online services,
and online procurement. In this section, respondents were asked if their online
sales were to businesses, consumers, or both, to provide the percentage of total
customer sales and total business to business that were conducted online. In
addition, the survey inquired as to whether their Web site supported certain
services, whether consumers, businesses, or both utilized these services, and
what percentage of their total services were conducted online. Additionally, respondents were asked as to what percentage of the money they spent on certain items, such as direct goods for production, goods for resale, and supplies and equipment for doing business, are ordered online. The final topic was enterprise application strategy and spending. In this section, respondents were asked to identify the extent their Internet applications are electronically integrated with their internal databases and information systems, and their databases and information systems are electronically integrated with those of their suppliers and business customers. Lastly, respondents were asked to list their total revenue for both the calendar and fiscal year 2001, total IS operating budget in 2001, and the number of IT professionals working at their establishment.

Global Entrepreneurship Monitor [GEM]: Adult Population Survey Data Set, 1998-2017 (ICPSR 20320)
Reynolds, Paul D.
Reynolds, Paul D.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor [GEM] research program was developed to provide comparisons among countries related to participation of adults in the firm creation process. The initial data was assembled as a pretest of five countries in 1998 and by 2012 over 100 countries had been involved in the program. The initial design for the GEM initiative was based on the first US Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics, and by 2012 data from 1,827,513 individuals had been gathered in 563 national samples and 6 specialized regional samples.
This dataset is a harmonized file capturing results from all of the surveys. The procedure has been to harmonize the basic items across all surveys in all years, followed by implementing a standardized transform to identify those active as nascent entrepreneurs in the start-up process, as owner-managers of new firms, or as owner-managers of established firms. Those identified as nascent entrepreneurs or new business owners are the basis for the Total Entrepreneurial Activity [TEA] or Total Early-Stage index. This harmonized, consolidated assessment not only facilitates comparisons across countries, but provides a basis for temporal comparisons for individual countries.
Respondents were queried on the following main topics: general entrepreneurship, start-up activities, ownership and management of the firm, and business angels (angel investors). Respondents were initially screened by way of a series of general questions pertaining to starting a business, such as whether they were currently trying to start a new business, whether they knew anyone who had started a new business, whether they thought it was a good time to start a new business, as well as their perceptions of the income potential and the prestige associated with starting a new business. Demographic variables include respondent age, sex, and employment status.

Reynolds, Paul Davidson; Autio, Erkko; Hechavarria, Diana M.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) was designed to capture various aspects of firm creation and entrepreneurship across countries. The data have been collected over a number of years (1998-2003) and include responses from 4,685 experts in over 38 countries and three subnational regions. This study seeks to measure the national attributes considered critical for new firm births and small firm growth. The dataset is a harmonized file capturing the results from all of the surveys. The expert, or key informant, questionnaire was improved and adjusted each year to increase the reliability of multi-item indices and provide for the addition of new dimensions. For each version of the questionnaire, respondents completed 70-80 standardized items that were the basis for 12-15 multi-item indices. Respondents were initially asked a series of general questions pertaining to starting a business, such as whether they were currently trying to start a new business, whether they knew anyone who had started a new business, and whether they thought it was a good time to do so. Respondents were also asked about the process of starting up a new business; whether they had done anything to start a new business in the past 12 months; whether they would own all, part, or none of the new business; how many people would be involved with the new business; what sort of business they were starting; and what they would sell. In addition, respondents identified the total start-up costs, the various sources of the start-up money, and why they were involved in the start-up. Respondents then answered a set of questions to assess the national conditions influencing entrepreneurial activity in their own country. In this respect, respondents provided their opinions on business and entrepreneurial education, the integration of new technology in businesses, the availability of financial support through government policies and programs, the availability of subcontractors, yearly changes in the economic market, and the physical infrastructure in their country. Views were also elicited from respondents about their national cultures in regard to entrepreneurial efforts and opportunities, attitudes towards entrepreneurs in general, women entrepreneurs and the resources available to them, and citizens' knowledge and experience with new businesses. They also gave their views on the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) legislation and its enforcement in their respective countries. Respondents were then queried on the technological strengths of their country by ranking the top five sectors in which there has been development of the greatest number of technology-intensive start-up companies in the past ten years. Finally, respondents were asked the same general questions as those used in the GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP MONITOR (GEM): ADULT POPULATION SURVEY DATA SET, 1998-2003 (ICPSR 20320) in order to ascertain whether the opinions and behaviors of the current "expert" respondents differ from those of the general population. These questions included whether they were starting a new business, if there were opportunities for new businesses, funding sources for a new business, skills required to start a new business, shutting down a business, and whether a fear of failure was preventing the start of a new business. The dataset also contains variables that describe the respondent's gender, age, educational attainment, labor force status, the entrepreneurial areas in which they feel they h,ave strong expertise, and the month and year the survey was conducted.

Launched on April 28, 2009, Kickstarter is a Public Benefit Corporation based in Brooklyn, New York. It is a global crowdfunding platform that helps to fund new creative projects and ideas through direct support from individuals (backers) from around the world who pledge money to bring these projects and ideas to life.
Kickstarter supports many different kinds of projects. Everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Funding on Kickstarter is based on the all-or-nothing model. Backers who pledge their support towards a particular project won't be charged unless the funding goal has been reached. Successfully funded projects reward their backers with one-of-a-kind experiences, e.g., limited editions, or copies of the creative work being produced.
This study includes three datasets: (1) Kickstarter Project (public-use file), (2) Backer Location file, and (3) Kickstarter Project (restricted-use file). The public-use Kickstarter Project dataset contains detailed information about all successful and unsuccessful Kickstarter projects (N=610,015) from 2009-2023, including the project category and subcategory, project location (city, state (for U.S.-based projects), and country), funding goal in original and U.S. currencies, amount pledged in dollars, and the number of backers for each project. The restricted file adds the project title, 150-character project description, and the URL for the project on the Kickstarter site. The Backer Location dataset includes information about backers' country and state and the total amount pledged for each geographic location.

The Korean General Social Survey (KGSS) is the South Korean version of the General Social Survey (GSS), closely replicating the original GSS of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. Each round of the KGSS typically includes the topical module surveys of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), and/or the East Asian Social Survey (EASS), an international survey network of four GSS-type surveys from countries in East Asia (including China, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea). Respondents were asked for their opinions on Korean society, economic issues, government performance, international relations, business, women and family matters, immigration, and social inequality. Additional questions were asked about everyday life, household and family composition, and media use. Demographic information includes age, sex, education level, household income, employment status, religious preference, political party affiliation, and political philosophy.

This three-part data collection is designed to gauge the
views of American business leaders by interviewing post-World War II
graduates of leading business schools concerning the state of business
in the United States and the world. Topics covered in Part 1 include
world economic powers, strengths and weaknesses of American business,
Japanese investment in the United States, foreign competition, the
respondent's opinion of Ronald Reagan, taxes, and important problems
facing American business (e.g., decline in productivity and the work
ethic, the budget deficit, and mergers). In Part 2 respondents were
asked whether they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of business
executives of several leading corporations, which American corporation
was managed the best, how much attention corporate managers were paying
to mergers and takeovers, if the respondent would work for a company
with a board of directors, and whether layoffs in middle management
would strengthen or weaken American companies. Topics covered in Part 3
include foreign investment, federal regulation of business, the Reagan
administration's enforcement of anti-trust laws, the respondent's
choice for the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees, and
important economic problems in the United States such as high labor
costs, bank instability, and Third World debt. Background information
on individuals for all three surveys includes party affiliation,
occupation, age, sex, and income.

Rural Establishment Innovation Survey (ICPSR 36544)
United States Department of Agriculture. Economic Research Service
United States Department of Agriculture. Economic Research Service
In 2014, the United States Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (USDA ERS) conducted the Rural Establishment Innovation Survey (REIS). This survey provides a nationally representative sample of innovation processes in rural businesses. REIS defines innovation as the introduction of new goods, services, or ways of doing business that are valued by consumers. Traditional measures from secondary data sources, such as patents or research and development (R&D) expenditures, focus on science and engineering-based innovation, which usually depict rural innovation as rare or idiosyncratic. By focusing instead on a broader definition of innovation, the REIS provides a fuller assessment of rural innovative capacity.
The main research questions for this survey were:
Are rural firms as innovative as urban firms?
What constraints are impeding the innovative capacity of firms?
What strategies are innovative firms using to mitigate these constraints?
The target population for the survey was Nonmetro and metro establishments with 5 or more employees in tradable sectors (mining, manufacturing, wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing, finance, information, professional/technical/scientific services, arts and management of businesses). REIS used the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Business Register for its sampling frame. Responses from 11,600 businesses were usable.
These data include responses from businesses in the Arts & Museums industry category. These businesses were oversampled by a factor of 3.3 to ensure reliable statistics.
The REIS data are restricted and require users to apply for access to the data. For permission to access to these data, visit the ERS Rural Economy Population: Business Industry page and scroll to the bottom of the page for contact information. If permission to access the data is granted, the data can be viewed through the NORC data enclave.

Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS): Tracking Changes During The Coronavirus Pandemic (ICPSR 37868)
United States. Bureau of the Census
United States. Bureau of the Census
The Small Business Pulse Survey (Business Pulse) measures the effect of changing business conditions during the Coronavirus pandemic on our nation's small businesses. Small businesses are nonfarm, single-location employer businesses with 1-499 employees and receipts of $1,000 or more in the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Business Pulse complements existing U.S. Census Bureau data collections by providing high-frequency, detailed information on the challenges small businesses are facing during the Coronavirus pandemic as well as their participation in federal programs such as the Paycheck Protection Program.
The survey includes information about small business operations and finances, requests and receipt of assistance, and measures of overall well-being and expectations for recovery. Data are available for states and large metropolitan areas, and by sector, including sector 71 (arts, entertainment, and recreation), which includes performing arts companies, museums, spectator sports, and amusement industries.
Survey results give local, state, and federal officials essential real-time data to aid in policy and decision-making. In addition, the information may aid businesses in making economic decisions and assist researchers studying the effects of the pandemic.

State-Level Data on Limited Liability Companies (LLC), United States, 2004-2009 (ICPSR 31561)
Hausermann, Daniel M.
Hausermann, Daniel M.
The limited liability company (LLC) is much more popular a business entity in some states than in others. The potential explanations of this phenomenon was explored using a partly original set of cross-sectional state-level data. The dataset contains business entity filing statistics, data on formation fees, annual report fees, and franchise taxes for LLCs and business corporations, and data on particular features of state LLC statutes. It was found that formation fees, not taxes or substantive rules or anything else, explain the variation in LLC popularity best. The study that is based on the dataset, titled "For a Few Dollars Less: Explaining State-to-State Variation in Limited Liability Company Popularity," is not published yet.
