- Summary:
- In this methods case, we use the experience from two previous publications to discuss the process of data merging for the purpose of conducting comparative electoral research. These publications devoted to analyzing the electoral effects of voter? evaluations of party leaders on their voting behavior, through the use of leader? personality traits. This has been achieved by pooling several national election surveys into a single dataset. With these case? background, we reflect on questions such as data availability, merging different datasets, and harmonization of dissimilar survey questions. The practicalities of pooling data are discussed, and strategies to overcome common obstacles are provided.
