The EBRD Life in Transition survey changed their wording on this question quite a bit this wave, so it is difficult to compare to the past. But here I present the frequency of Eurasians using the Internet and social media as an information source. The question says: “People use different sources to learn what is…
A few years ago I made a graphic blog post about household Internet in Europe and Eurasia. It is time for an update with the 2015 EBRD Life in Transition dataset. They’ve changed the wording to ask people if they have any household Internet access, including from a smartphone. They also asked why they do…
A few years ago I made some graphics and a blog post showing personal computer ownership in Europe and Eurasia based on the EBRD’s Life in Transition survey. Last week I presented these data to some graduate students and that reminded me that I should update this! There are 2015-2016 data available and the picture…

We use a consensual poverty measure, where the greater the number of consumable items absent, the greater the degree of material deprivation (Demirchyan &…
I’m working on a project right now that looks at trust, so I wanted to share some results from the 2013 Caucasus Barometer. Here’s some work on trust from 2012. And more from the EBRD Life in Transitions study. First, the generalized trust question – there is scholarly debate about how people interpret this question,…
Number of Facebook users in the Caucasus is a popular topic. I did this analysis with data from Facebook itself. From the 2013 Caucasus Barometer, we see that 20% of Armenian adults, 16% of Azerbaijani adults, and 26% of Georgian adults use Facebook at least once a week.
