With the European COvid Survey (ECOS), the HCHE and researchers from three other European universities examined the acceptance of protective measures and precautionary behavior (such as willingness to vaccinate) during the corona pandemic from April 2020 to December 2022 as part of a cross-national longitudinal study. More than 7,000 people in eight European countries were surveyed every two months. The study is representative and provided politically relevant insights (e.g. about the current mood towards containment measures, vaccinations or types of vaccines). In addition, the ECOS data helps to answer health economics research questions that are aimed at an academic audience using advanced analytical methods. ECOS data-based research offers an empirical foundation for capturing longitudinal phenomena and relationships, leading to a deeper understanding of socioeconomic processes and behaviors.
