IZA/IAB Linked evaluation dataset 1993-2010

Abstract

"This data report provides a description of the factual anonymous Scientific Use File 'IZA/IAB Linked Evaluation Dataset 1993-2010'. 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 Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) 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. For selected persons with entries in unemployment between June 2007 and May 2008, an additional telephone interview was carried out on behalf of IZA. In total, about 17,400 people were interviewed. These persons were asked for their consent to link the survey data with the information available at the IAB: 15,274 persons gave their consent and finally the data of 15,173 individuals could be matched."
