We carried out an harmonization of the Eurobarometer 2004-2021(spring). This dataset includes 35 single standard Eurobarometers, and morethan 140 variables about EU policies, attitudes towards Europe and the EU, identity, cognitive mobilization, political institutions, socio-political characteristics and partisanship, etc.

The harmonization was carried out using existing Eurobarometer datasets published by GESIS. To allow the user to replicate the harmonization and be able to modify some codes if needed, we publish one example of do-file used to pursue the harmonization, as well as the corresponding (harmonized) dataset. The user can find the do-file containing the codes used to modify and clean EB 953 (ZA7783, conducted in spring 2021) according to the harmonization procedure that we followed. Moreover, the user can find the cleaned dataset for EB 953 that was obtained after running the do-file. The files are named “EB 953.do” and “953_new.dta”.

We include:
- a harmonized dataset ("harmonised_EB_2004-2021.dta")
- a technical report ("User Guide Harmonized Eurobarometer 2004-2021")
- a summary of the original survey questions corresponding to the variables included in the dataset ("Trends_EBs_1970-2021.xlsx")
- one of the do-files used to carry out the harmonization (“EB 953.do” )
- one of the datasets used before merging all datasets (“953_new.dta”)
- information on errata in the dataset v3.0.0 ("ERRATA_harmonised_EB_2004-2021.txt") +++++++++++++++
