Special Dataset Releases

Please notice the special release of codebook and data sets for the European Election Study 1994 [ZA 2865]. This study essentially consists of a survey conducted immediately after the European Parliament election of June 1994 in the framework of Eurobarometer 41.1 and a number of pertinent variables from the three related Eurobarometer surveys conducted before and after the European elections between Autumn 1993 and Autumn 1994.  Identical questions have been asked in all member states of the European Community, some of them have been included in two, a few in three or all four of the interviews. As a consequence the study offers wide opportunities for comparative and longitudinal analyses of voter behaviour and voter orientations.

Longitudinal analysis are particularly supported by the fact that 1994 study contents are partially overlapping with those of the European Election Study 1989 [ZA 2320].

The European Election Studies 1999 and 2004 continue the series, but not anymore in the framework of the Eurobarometer series. Nevertheless a large number of questions are identical to those used in the 1989 and 1994 studies, thus permitting time-series comparisons. Eurobarometer Elections surveys or modules in these years have been conducted independently (see overview above).

The EES 1994 data are archived at and distributed by the Zentralarchiv für Empirische Sozialforschung in Cologne with the study numbers 2866 to 2869 (interconnected single data files for four waves and for each country) or 2865 (integrated data file). The EES 1989 and 1999 data are primarily archived at DANS (formerly NIWI/Steinmetz Archief). All data sets are also made available via the national social science data archives.

The European Elections studies, including the special data releases,  are prepared respectively conducted by the group of principal investigators in the framework of the 'European Elections Study Research Group' :
