The Asian Barometer Survey is essentially a cross-national survey project. Under the data-sharing agreement among our East Asian collaborators, we have made our merged dataset which covers thirteen East Asian countries and territories and all the variables contained in our core questionnaire freely accessible to scholars and experts worldwide upon application.
