Original datasets were not retrieved, except for March 1997 (that was provided with English labels by Mircea Comșa) and December 1997 (retrieved by Bogdan Voicu and partly cleaned in 2004).

A pooled dataset compiled by Sebastian Lăzăroiu in 1998 includes 11 out the 12 waves of the survey (the missing one is December 1997). A generic questionnaire was compiled by Sebastian Lăzăroiu with the same occasion. The current version of the dataset includes a few additional variables compiled by Bogdan Voicu in 2004.


Press releases for some waves in 1995-1996 were recovered by Ovidiu Voicu and Mircea Comșa and rearranged by Bogdan Voicu in 2022. They allowed to reconstruct information on Barometer boards, partly completed with information provided by Dumitru Sandu:

*************************************

Datasets are provided in three formats:
.zsav, .sav, .dta.
SPSS and Stata (14+) could be used to read the data. For R, we recommend using packages RcmdrMisc (function readSPSS) and readstata13 in order to import databases.

Labels are provided for the moment only in Romanian language. (except for march 1997, for which English labels are available within the dataset)

No weighting system is provided, for the simple reason that in all cases there is no need for weighting (all weights should be equal to 1).
