GEPARTEE - German Parties before the European Elections 2024

GePartEE (German Parties before the European Elections 2024) is an expert survey project aiming to positions the German parties on the main dimensions of political competition. It contains variables on economic, cultural, European and populism issues, combining new items and adapted items from established expert surveys such as CHES, POPPA and GPS. Our main goal is to provide data for the European Elections campaign for 2024. We also dedicate special attention to new parties such as BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) and minor parties established at the regional level such as Freie Wähler and Volt, which are likely to win seats in the European Parliament. This repository contains the following data: - Codebook (German) - Expert-Level dataset (threshold for inclusion: at least 50% of questions answered) - Aggregated dataset (aggregated by median; parties with less than 5 experts removed but are included in expert-level dataset) - Long dataset with median, mean and n for every variable/party combination
