The dataset ‘Interest Group Preferences in Surplus Countries – Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands’ provides a wide range of information on interest group positions on economic and social policy issues during the Eurozone crisis. The data was collected via an online survey to interest group populations in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands between October 2016 and September 2017.

The codebook is intended as support for researchers wanting to draw on the data and gives information on the sample and variables. Another document provides information on the SNSF-funded project based on the final project report.
