Data

Working Trajectories in the HRS: As a supplement to the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS) I created a data set of detailed working trajectories. The data and its documentation are available through the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research: https://hrs.isr.umich.edu/news/data-announcements/working-trajectories-hrs.The data covers waves 1992 to 2014 of the HRS, and AHEAD 1995. For each respondent it contains the working history recorded to the nearest month, using the detailed self-reported information on worklife trajectories included in the HRS. 

Male fertility in high-income countries: Together with Sebastian Klüsener I created a database on male fertility. It contains age-specific fertility rates for 17  high-income countries. The data is available as part of the Human Fertility Collection hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and the Vienna Institute of Demography.

COVerAGE-DB: COVID-19 cases, deaths, and tests by age and sex: COVerAGE-DB is a database project which collects harmonized data on COVID-19 cases, deaths, and tests by age and sex. The database can be accessed here: https://www.coverage-db.org/ Data collection is still ongoing and the database is updated regularly.
