Inquiry Regarding Veraset Data Access and Dataset Merging on Dewey
Dear Dewey Support Team,
I am a researcher interested in using the Veraset dataset available on your platform, and I have two questions before proceeding:
-
The Veraset dataset appears to be marked as "institutional license" on the platform. Could you clarify what this means in practice? Specifically, if I subscribe as an individual researcher, would I still be able to download the data, or is access restricted exclusively to institutional subscribers?
-
Regarding the note that "Starting in 2022, home and work visits were split into separate datasets due to privacy requirements" — is there a way to merge these three datasets (movement, home visits, and work visits) back together using a shared user identifier, so as to reconstruct the pre-2022 unified format?
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Yilin
