Replication data for: Party Positions on Immigration in Switzerland

Party positions on immigration in Switzerland obtained using different methods. Covers the main Swiss parties (CVP, FDP, SPS, GPS, SVP) 1991 to 2011 (mostly 1995 to 2009). Different methods are used to determine party positions: pooled expert surveys, pooled experts surveys (alternative pooling), manual coding of manifesto using a conventional codebook, checklist approach, automatic dictionary coding (Yoshikoder), Wordscores, Wordfish, retrospective survey, media analysis. For the retrospective survey and the media analysis standard deviations are recorded in separate variables; for the media analysis the number of claims recorded for each party/election year is recorded in a separate variable. Most methods are based on German language party manifestos (exceptions are: pooled expert survey, retrospective survey, and media analysis). Word frequencies (JFreq) are included in a separate file.

本数据集收录了1991年至2011年间（主要覆盖1995年至2009年）瑞士主要政党（基督教民主人民党（CVP）、自由民主党（FDP）、瑞士社会民主党（SPS）、绿党（GPS）、瑞士人民党（SVP））在移民议题上的政党立场数据，所有立场均通过多种方法测算得出。本次测算采用的方法包括：合并专家调查法、替代合并式专家调查法、基于常规编码手册的竞选宣言人工编码法、清单核查法、自动词典编码法（Yoshikoder）、词得分法（Wordscores）、词鱼法（Wordfish）、回溯性调查法以及媒体内容分析法。其中，回溯性调查法与媒体内容分析法的测算结果会附带单独的标准差变量；针对媒体内容分析法，各政党/选举年度的主张记录数量也会存入单独变量中。多数测算方法基于德语版政党竞选宣言，仅合并专家调查法、回溯性调查法及媒体内容分析法除外。词频数据（JFreq）将单独存储于一个独立文件中。
