Data

We conducted a large public opinion survey on European citizens' attitudes and preferences towards education policy, social investment policies, and compensatory social policies. The survey was conducted in eight countries in 2014 by a professional survey institute (TNS) as computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI). The data quality is similar to the ESS. The INVEDUC data is available for everyone free of charge via GESIS.

We collected information on regional education spending, regional government composition and policy positions, and regional authority over education policy for 282 regions in 15 countries, 1990-2010. The data is available here: https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/ETFEMX.
