IZA/IAB Administrative Evaluation Dataset (AED) 1993 - 2010

Abstract

"The present data report describes the weakly anonymous individual-level data of the IZA/IAB Administrative Evaluation Data Set. It was created in the context of the research project 'Evaluation der Effektivität der Hauptinstrumente der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik nach § 3 SGB III' (Evaluation of the effectiveness of the main instruments of active labour market policy in accordance with German Social Code Book III) by the Institut zur Zukunft der Arbeit (Institute for the Study of Labour) in Bonn. In cooperation with the Institute for Employment Research in Nuremberg, an extensive data base for analysing the effectiveness of active labour market policy measures was compiled. From the Integrated Employment Biographies (IEB) of the IAB, which comprise administrative individual-level data about the employment situation from the reporting procedure for social security and about benefits received, job search and participation in measures from the operational business of the Federal Employment Agency, a random sample of persons who entered unemployment between January 2001 and December 2008 was taken. The decision about the design of the sampling and the selection of characteristics lay with the IZA. The dataset is now being offered in a revised form in the Research Data Centre of the BA in the IAB (FDZ)." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
