British Election Study: EEC Referendum Survey, 1975 (ICPSR 7872)

Released/updated on: 2006-01-16
Geographic coverage: Great Britain, United Kingdom, Global
Time period: 1975-06-01--1975-08-01
This data collection is part of a continuing series of surveys of the British electorate, begun by David Butler and Donald Stokes at Nuffield College, Oxford, in 1963, and continued at the University of Essex. In the EEC Referendum Survey, 2,117 British electors responded to a questionnaire that was mailed to all respondents interviewed in the BRITISH ELECTION STUDY, OCTOBER 1974, CROSS-SECTION (ICPSR 7870) and, thus, it constitutes the third wave of a panel, including also the FEBRUARY 1974 CROSS-SECTION (ICPSR 7868). As with other surveys in the series, electors in Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands and Islands were excluded from the sampling frame. The three purposes of the survey were (1) to collect information on voting in the referendum about Great Britain's entry into the Common Market held in the spring of 1974, (2) to collect data on respondents' views of the parties and politics in general (as in the earlier panel waves), and (3) to include questions about the referendum as such, i.e., as a constitutional form of decision-making. Respondents answered questions regarding readership of official leaflets on the European Economic Community (EEC), attitudes toward future referendum votes, expected effect of Britain's membership in the EEC (in particular, on prices), their vote in the referendum, strength of opinion about the EEC, difference made to voting decision by new terms negotiated by the government, attitude toward Labour Government's handling of rising prices, party identification, and strength of party support. Respondents were also asked to rate the Conservative, Labour, Liberal, and Scottish National political parties. Finally, respondents were asked to reveal their degree of trust in the parties and their knowledge of orientations of various power groups toward the EEC.

Eurobarometer 66.1: European Values and Societal Issues, Mobile Phone Use, and Farm Animal Welfare, September-October 2006 (ICPSR 21281)

Released/updated on: 2010-06-23
Geographic coverage: Cyprus, Portugal, Global, Malta, Greece, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Latvia, Luxembourg, Ireland, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, France, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Croatia, Romania, Hungary, Europe, United Kingdom, Spain, Czech Republic, Turkey, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Germany, Estonia
Time period: 2006-09-06--2006-10-10
This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, what their expectations were for the next 12 months, and how they viewed the need for societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions on the European Union (EU), including how well-informed they felt about the it, what sources of information about the EU they used, whether their country had benefited from being an EU member (or would benefit from being a future member), and the extent of their personal interest in EU matters. Respondents were also asked to provide their opinion on social issues, identify personal and European values, and evaluate whether these values are shared among EU member states. A second major focus for the surveys was on mobile phone use, including roaming. Respondents were asked to evaluate the cost of local mobile phone services versus those services used in other countries and the involvement of the EU in price regulation, to describe their mobile phone access billing plan, and to identify mobile services they used most frequently while abroad. For a third major area of focus, the survey asked respondents about their knowledge of animal welfare, their opinions about its practice and application during food production and importation, the availability and purchase of animal welfare-friendly food products, labeling and signage indicating the source of food products, and financial compensation of farmers who farm animals in animal friendly conditions. In addition, respondents were asked their opinion in regard to the role of the EU and the United States, and the position of the EU as compared to the United States, in regard to several social issues. Demographic and other background information includes respondent's age, gender, nationality, national provenance, marital status, left-to-right political self-placement, occupation, age when stopped full-time education, religion and religious involvement, as well as household composition, ownership of a fixed or mobile telephone and other durable goods, type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview (select countries).

Macroeconomic Time Series for the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France (ICPSR 7644)

Released/updated on: 2007-03-26
Geographic coverage: United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Global
Time period: 1785-01-01--1968-01-01
This collection contains an array of economic time series data pertaining to the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, primarily between the 1920s and the 1960s, and including some time series from the 18th and 19th centuries. These data were collected by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), and they constitute a research resource of importance to economists as well as to political scientists, sociologists, and historians. Under a grant from the National Science Foundation, ICPSR and the National Bureau of Economic Research converted this collection (which existed heretofore only on handwritten sheets stored in New York) into fully accessible, readily usable, and completely documented machine-readable form. The NBER collection -- containing an estimated 1.6 million entries -- is divided into 16 major categories: (1) construction, (2) prices, (3) security markets, (4) foreign trade, (5) income and employment, (6) financial status of business, (7) volume of transactions, (8) government finance, (9) distribution of commodities, (10) savings and investments, (11) transportation and public utilities, (12) stocks of commodities, (13) interest rates, and (14) indices of leading, coincident, and lagging indicators, (15) money and banking, and (16) production of commodities. Data from all categories are available in Parts 1-22. The economic variables are usually observations on the entire nation or large subsets of the nation. Frequently, however, and especially in the United States, separate regional and metropolitan data are included in other variables. This makes cross-sectional analysis possible in many cases. The time span of variables in these files may be as short as one year or as long as 160 years. Most data pertain to the first half of the 20th century. Many series, however, extend into the 19th century, and a few reach into the 18th. The oldest series, covering brick production in England and Wales, begins in 1785, and the most recent United States data extend to 1968. The unit of analysis is an interval of time -- a year, a quarter, or a month. The bulk of observations are monthly, and most series of monthly data contain annual values or totals.

Released/updated on: 2022-08-09
Geographic coverage: United States, California, Oakland, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Time period: 2016-01-01--2018-01-01

The Multicity Study of the Impact of Taxes on Sugar-Sweetened Beverages was a multi-year study intended to provide comprehensive information about the impacts of sugar-sweetened beverage taxes on retail prices, purchases, and consumption. The study was conducted in two cities that recently implemented an excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages: Philadelphia, PA and Oakland, CA.

The study consists of six datasets, with three datasets covering Philadelphia and three covering Oakland. The store observation data contain price information for sodas, juices, and other beverages. The purchase datasets contain information from survey questions fielded at stores, including basic demographic information (race and ethnicity, gender, income), the number of people in the participant's household, and how often they shop for beverages at that store and others. The household datasets contain information from survey questions fielded during the household beverages consumption survey; it includes demographic information and beverage consumption information for a household adult and a household child.

The study also included an analysis of strategic responses to the taxes, including cross-border shopping by consumers, and retailers changing the availability of various beverages.

National Database of Childcare Prices, [United States], 2008-2018 (ICPSR 38303)

Released/updated on: 2023-05-22
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2008-01-01--2018-12-31

The National Database of Childcare Prices (NDCP) provides childcare prices at the county level in the United States. The NDCP is a new data source, and the most comprehensive federal source of childcare prices at the county level in the United States. The NDCP was developed to fill a need for local-level childcare price data, standardized across U.S. states. Most existing sources of childcare price data provide prices at the state level, yet parents must choose childcare providers that are in close proximity to their homes or workplaces. Therefore, state averages are unlikely to be good estimates of the prices parents encounter in the market. State average prices do not reflect the substantial variation in prices from one locale to the next within a state and underestimate prices in urban areas.

The NDCP provides data on the price of childcare by children's age groups and care setting (home-based or center-based) at the median and 75th percentile over an 11-year period (2008-2018, inclusive) at the county level. The data were obtained from state Lead Agencies responsible for conducting market rate surveys (MRS) according to Child Care and Development Fund regulations. A MRS is the collection and analysis of prices charged by childcare providers for services in the priced market. All state Lead Agencies must conduct a survey and develop a report on local childcare prices in their state every three years. The Women's Bureau contracted with ICF to obtain reports and data from previously conducted surveys to develop the NDCP. The NDCP standardizes and harmonizes data across years and geographies for about 200 previously-conducted MRS. The NDCP also provides county-level demographic and economic data from the American Community Survey.

The accompanying User Guide (U.S. Department of Labor, Women's Bureau National Database of Childcare Prices: Final Report) provides detailed information about the data sources, data collection strategy, standardization and imputation of the data, and data limitations to inform and assist researchers who may be interested in using the data for future analyses.

Payment Method Costs Assessment: Survey of Retailers, 1983 [United States] (ICPSR 8171)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States
This telephone interview survey was conducted during April and May 1983 by the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, with a grant from the Federal Reserve Board. The purpose of the survey was to collect data on the sensitivity of retailers' pricing structures to methods of payment used by consumers to make purchases. The major areas of investigation were sales volume transacted by cash, personal checks, third-party credit cards, and other methods, cost differences incurred by retailers for accepting different payment methods, and retailer experience with and attitudes toward cash discounts and credit surcharges. The sampling universe consisted of nonfood retail establishments in the coterminous United States. The overall response rate was 82 percent, although retail firms with an annual sales volume of more than $5,000,000 were somewhat less likely to respond. Other characteristics of respondents and nonrespondents did not differ significantly.

Price Quotations in Early United States Securities Markets, 1790-1860 (ICPSR 4053)

Released/updated on: 2005-08-24
Geographic coverage: United States, England, United Kingdom, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York City, Charleston (South Carolina), Baltimore, Massachusetts, Louisiana, London, New Orleans, Alexandria, Virginia, Maryland, Philadelphia, Boston, Norfolk, Richmond
Time period: 1790-01-01--1860-01-01
The dataset is a compilation of prices of public securities (equities and bonds) traded in nine United States securities markets and in London during the period between the United States Revolutionary and Civil Wars. The data were gathered by scanning early United States periodicals chronicling the period from 1786-1862. The data were concentrated on what were termed "runs" of securities quotations broken down by days, weeks, or months for each of the ten cities in the data set. Runs are series of bids and offer quotes for different securities and maturities. Within each part (market), the data were divided by issuer sectors or types. There may be some redundancy in the data, because when there was doubt about categorizing similar issues under a key code they were categorized under separate codes.

Rising Natural Gas Prices and Real Economic Activity (ICPSR 1334)

Released/updated on: 2006-11-29
Geographic coverage: United States
In the aftermath of the disruptions caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, natural gas prices rose to record-high levels. Because natural gas is an important energy source for the United States economy, there was widespread concern that these high prices might cause a significant slowing in the economy-especially among those manufacturing industries that heavily consume natural gas. The analysis presented in this article suggests that output is responsive to natural gas prices in some manufacturing sectors. Although perhaps significant, this result must be balances against the findings that, when the analysis is extended to the macroeconomy (real gross domestic product growth), increases in crude oil prices significantly predict real gross domestic product growth, but natural gas prices do not.

Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Behavior, May 2004 (ICPSR 35361)

Released/updated on: 2024-11-07
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2004-04-01--2004-05-01

The Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Behavior series (also known as the Surveys of Consumers) was undertaken to measure changes in consumer attitudes and expectations, to understand why such changes occur, and to evaluate how they relate to consumer decisions to save, borrow, or make discretionary purchases. The data regularly include the Index of Consumer Sentiment, the Index of Current Economic Conditions, and the Index of Consumer Expectations. Since the 1940s, these surveys have been produced quarterly through 1977 and monthly thereafter.

The surveys conducted in 2004 focused on topics such as evaluations and expectations about personal finances, employment, price changes, and the national business situation. Opinions were collected regarding respondents' appraisals of present market conditions for purchasing houses, automobiles, computers, and other durables. Also explored in this survey, were respondents' types of savings and financial investments, loan use, family income, and retirement planning.

Other topics in this series typically include ownership, lease, and use of automobiles, respondents' use of personal computers at home and in the office, and respondents' familiarity with and use of the Internet. Demographic information includes ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, and education.

The questions in the 1954 survey covered the respondent's attitudes toward national economic conditions and price activity, as well as the respondent's own financial situation. Other questions examined the spending unit head's occupation, and the nature and amount of the spending unit's income, debts, liquid assets, changes in liquid assets, savings, investment preferences, and actual and expected purchases of cars and other major durables. In addition, the survey explored in detail the subject of housing, e.g., previous and present home ownership, value of respondent's dwelling, and mortgage information. This was the first year that questions were asked regarding plans to make additions and repairs to homes. The 1954 survey emphasized the respondent's contractual payments, e.g., mortgages, rent, property taxes, and installment debt. Respondents were asked about the desirability of using an installment plan and the wisest place to put savings. A separate subsection of the survey contained questions for farmers. (The separate farmer's questionnaire, used in the 1947-1953 surveys, was dropped.) Personal data include number of people in the spending unit, age, sex, and education of the head, and the race and sex of the respondent.
