The Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP)

New databse survey on-line: Latin America 2004.

QUERYING SYSTEM FOR THE LAPOP DATABASES

We offer two alternatives for querying LAPOP databases:

BEGINNER mode: The user can only request frequency distributions or cross-tabulations. The user is unable to define filters (I.E., select sub-classes), recode variables or control for third variables.

Beginner

EXPERT mode: Beyond the Beginner modes functions, the user can define filters (select sub-classes), recode variables, and control for third variable effects.

This is an on-line querying system to the original databases (micro-data) of the surveys of the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), Vanderbilt University.

LAPOP, a project directed by Centennial professor Mitchell A. Seligson, includes more than 70 high quality surveys on major topics of great interest to political and social scientists, Latin Americanists, government officials, and interested citizens. LAPOP surveys analyzing citizen views on system support, political tolerance, citizen participation, local government, corruption, and authoritarianism have been conducted and are now available at this site for: Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela.
