The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) is a collaborative, cross-national program of comparative electoral behavior among over 60 election study teams from around the world. The CSES allows examination into how societal, political, economic and structural contexts shape citizen behavior and condition democratic choice; the nature of political and social divisions; and how citizens in different political systems evaluate democratic institutions and processes. Participating countries include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The resulting data are deposited along with voting, demographic, district and macro variables. The studies are then merged into a single, free, public dataset for use in comparative study and cross-level analysis. The research agenda, questionnaires, and study design are developed by an international committee of leading scholars of electoral politics and political science. The design is implemented in each country by their foremost social scientists.
The Comparative Welfare Entitlements Project (CWEP) collects data on institutional features of social insurance programs in 33 countries dating back to the early 1970s. The project extends and updates information collected and published online as CWED by Lyle Scruggs and CWED 2 by Lyle Scruggs, Detlef Jahn, and Kati Kuitto. Data is currently provided for unemployment and sickness insurance benefits as well as for standard and minimum pensions and covers income replacement rates of cash benefits, eligibility criteria and coverage of the programs. Replacement rates are available for ten household types, making CWEP one of the most comprehensive datasets on replacement rates for social insurance programs.
