Omnibus Study, Spring 1973 (ICPSR 7453)
Released/updated on: 2023-03-13
Geographic coverage: United States
This study was sponsored by the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan for researchers who needed data on national samples but only required part of an interview. The survey covered the following major topics: economic situation, quality of life, governmental service agencies, income tax, and background questions. In the economic section, respondents were asked how they viewed their own and the country's economic situations in comparison to the previous year, and what their expectations were for the next 12 months. Questions referred to personal finances, employment, price changes, and the national business situation. The economic variables are also included in SURVEY OF CONSUMER ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR, SPRING 1973 (ICPSR 7475). The second section focused on respondents' life satisfaction. General questions about quality of life were followed by a more extensive inquiry into specific aspects of respondents' lives: financial security, freedom, independence, safety, religious fulfillment, perceptions of pressure, and adaptability. The third section focused on respondents' experience with and attitudes toward various governmental agencies, particularly in the areas of health, welfare, and employment. Government service agencies at the local, county, state, and national levels were taken into consideration. The fourth section posed a series of questions about income taxes, tax rates, income tax withholding, and income tax refunds in 1973 as compared to 1972. The survey probed the extent to which people were aware of a change in tax law that had resulted in too much money having been withheld in 1972. Respondents were also asked what they did, or intended to do, with the extra refunds received in the spring of 1973. Demographic information includes sex, age, ethnicity, level of education, marital status, employment status, occupation, family income, home and car ownership, and multiple residences, if applicable.

Michigan Tax Limitation Amendments Study, 1978 (ICPSR 7815)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States, Michigan
Time period: 1978-01-01--1978-12-31
Given the growing belief in the late 1970s that government spending was out of control, this study was conducted to obtain information concerning the behavior, attitudes, and characteristics of actual and potential voters about the costs and benefits of public sector spending and the accuracy of those perceptions. The state of Michigan provided a good environment for this study because the November 1978 ballot contained three distinct constitutional amendments whose purpose was to effect considerable change in the taxing and expenditure authority of Michigan's state and local governments and school districts. These ballot propositions were the Headlee Amendment, the Tisch Amendment, and the School Voucher Plan. This data collection consists of 2,001 completed telephone interviews, conducted in the two months following the November election, of a sample chosen to be representative of all Michigan residents aged 18 or older. Respondents were interviewed about their attitudes toward state and local government taxes and expenditures, government in general, and the three specific tax limitation amendments on the Michigan ballot. Respondents also were asked how they voted on the propositions and what they thought the probable effects of these propositions would be if adopted. Demographic and economic information on respondents was also collected, e.g., age, sex, ethnicity, occupation, employment status, income, tax payments, and education of children (i.e., number of their children in state-supported or private schools).
