IAB Establishment Panel: Outline

Original data

The original data contains all waves of the IAB Establishment Panel. For reasons of data protection all key characteristics were deleted and some sensitive variables are available only in a weakly anonymous and aggregated version. These sensitive characteristics are available at a less aggregated level on request only.

The detailed dataset description is available under 'working tools'.

Scientific Use File

The section 'Statistical Methods' (KEM) of the IAB developed a synthetic dataset of the IAB Establishment Panel for the wave 2007 as Scientific Use File. The dataset contains almost every variable of the survey 2007 as well as a few additional characteristics.

A detailed description of the development and the use of the synthetic dataset can be found in the FDZ-Methodenreport 1/2011 (only in German).
