Abstract

"The IEBS is a random sample drawn from the Integrated Employment Biographies (IEB) of the IAB. The IEB are not to be understood as a self-contained dataset but as a procedure for merging data from four different sources for the purpose of data quality control and for drawing samples such as the IEBS. The four data sources are - the IAB Employee History (BeH) with observations of employment subject to social security taken from the social security notification procedure, - the Benefit Recipient History (LeH) with observations of receipt of unemployment benefit, unemployment assistance and maintenance allowance, - the Participants-in-Measures History File (MTH) with observations of participation in employment and training measures and - the Applicant Pool Data (BewA) with job-search observations. The most important changes compared with the 2005 version of the IEBS are: Updating of the loading status and inclusion of new variables; the variable 'grund' is recoded in the variable spectrum; the missing values are recoded uniformly to the value -7; reforms of district territories in Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia result in new district numbers from 2007." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
