U.S. 2020 Facebook and Instagram Election Study
Datasets

The U.S. 2020 Facebook and Instagram Election Study (US 2020 FIES) is a partnership between Meta and academic researchers to understand the impact of Facebook and Instagram on key political attitudes and behaviors during the US 2020 election.

The data in this study was analyzed using R (version 4.1.1), which was executed via R notebooks on JupyterLab (3.2.3). The analysis code imports several R packages available on CRAN, including dplyr (1.0.10), ggplot2 (3.4.0), xtable (1.8-4), aws.s3 (0.3.22), glmnet (4.1.2), and estimatr (1.0.0). We also developed a custom R package to read, process, and analyze data that will be included in the software package.
