Abstract

"This Data Report is the result of the cooperation between the German research data center 'Forschungsdatenzentrum der Bundesagentur für Arbeit im Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung' (FDZ) and the French research data centre 'Centre d'Accès Sécurisé aux Données' (CASD). This cooperation aims at facilitating data access and comparative research between Germany and France. Working closely together, both institutions determined the comparability of labor market data to which they provide access. Further, they introduced a comparison tool at the variable level for two large administrative datasets, the German 'Sample of Integrated Labor Market Biographies' (SIAB) and the French 'Panel tous salariés' (All Employee Panel). Disclaimer: The comparison of data sources is a general one and actual comparability may vary with research projects. The comparison tool at the variable level provides a starting point for comparative research, but actual comparability may depend on specific research questions. Should researchers develop a harmonization program, we offer the possibility to publish relevant do-files in a citable format." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
