Data
The following teaching datasets are included in this repository, in zipped Stata .dta
format:
Filename | Dataset | Year(s) |
---|---|---|
ess0816 |
European Social Survey (ESS) | Rounds 4, 2008-9, and 8, 2016-7 |
gss7616 |
U.S. General Social Survey (GSS) | 1976, 1986, 1996, 2006 and 2016 |
nhis1017 |
U.S. National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) | 2010 and 2017 |
qog2019 |
Quality of Government (QOG) | 2015 ± approx. 3 years |
wvs9904 |
World Values Survey (WVS) | Wave 4, 1999-2004 |
The QOG dataset compiles variables from several high-quality country-level datasets; all other datasets are single-country or cross-country individual-level surveys.
All datasets are used in class and for student research projects, except for the NHIS dataset, which is "for class only".
-
The zipped versions of the datasets available in this repository are those used in class. They are teaching versions that contain only a selection of the original variables. Please do not redistribute the datasets, and do not use them for any other purpose than instruction.
-
Please also make sure to cite the datasets appropriately. Citation templates can be found in the technical documentation of the datasets, as well as in the
_readme.txt
files present in thedata
folder, which contain more detailed information on each dataset.
All datasets are provided in .dta-format 115
and should therefore be readable with Stata 12+. The plan is to make them available in Stata 8/9+ format soon.
Some datasets might contain more than 2,047 variables, which might be an issue with older versions of Stata.
