Das IAB-Betriebspanel

Abstract

"The IAB-Establishment Panel conducts annual surveys in West Germany since 1993 and in East Germany since 1996, comprising altogether 16000 establishments. The access to data for external research proposes is an important requirement to enhance scholarly knowledge from information on the demand side of the labour market. Thus, since March 1999 the IAB-Establishment Panel Data Service, financed by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, carries out analyses with the data of the IAB-Establishment Panel for external researchers. Both the larger number of units and the growing number of panel waves have extended the possibilities for analyses, such that advanced analytical methods can also be adopted. Furthermore, the IAB has linked the IAB-Establishment Panel data with information from the employment statistics register of the Federal Employment Services. The analytical potential of both the IAB-Establishment Panel and the linked employer-employee panel is demonstrated by some applications." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
