Abstract

The econometric model described in this paper presents an innovative approach of the firm level data (micro data) usage, compiled from official statistics for the projection of the demand for labour differentiated at the sectoral and/or regional level. The aim of our dynamic model is to determine a short term oriented forecast of the employment process - with the horizon from 12 to 24 months - taking into consideration the turnover, order situation, wage level and export rates developments for the metal sector in Brandenburg as an example. The forecast model is based on the firm data panel from "the Monthly Report for Companies from the Manufacturing Industry as well from Mining and Quarrying of Stones and Earths". Basically our model seems to be an appropriate forecasting instrument of the employment development for the action-oriented policy advisory services. Das in diesem Artikel beschriebene ökonometrische Prognosemodell stellt einen innovativen Ansatz der Nutzung von amtlichen Firmendaten (Mikrodaten) für die Vorhersage von sektoral bzw. regional differenzierten Fachkräftebedarfen dar. Ziel unseres dynamischen Modells ist eine kurzfristig orientierte Prognose des Beschäftigungsverlaufs - mit einem Horizont von 12 bis 24 Monaten - unter Berücksichtigung der Umsatz-, Auftrags-, Lohn- sowie Exportentwicklung am Beispiel Brandenburger Metallwirtschaft zu ermitteln. Die Grundlage für das Prognosemodell bildet ein Betriebspanel aus dem "Monatsbericht für Betriebe des Verarbeitenden Gewerbes sowie des Bergbaus und der Gewinnung von Steinen und Erden". Grundsätzlich kann festgestellt werden, dass das Modell als ein geeignetes Prognoseinstrument der kurzfristigen Beschäftigungsentwicklung für eine handlungsorientierte Politikberatung anzusehen ist.
