This dataset collection combines microdata from a U.S.-based survey on economic expectations with complementary media-related data to support the analysis of public sentiment, media influence, and journalist activity over time. The survey includes detailed information on respondents’ income, employment, housing, and perceptions of macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth and inflation. These variables enable in-depth research on how individuals form economic expectations and how those expectations affect decision-making.

In addition, the collection features a longitudinal dataset tracking journalist performance metrics across multiple months and years. These include story counts and journalist-level rankings, allowing researchers to study media output, content dynamics, and exposure to economic news or narratives over time. This integrated structure supports empirical research on the interaction between individual beliefs, media exposure, and macroeconomic behavior.
