Abstract

Das Schwerbehindertengesetz verpflichtete in seiner bis 30.9.2000 gültigen Fassung alle Arbeitgeber ab 16 Beschäftigten, sechs Prozent der Arbeitsplätze mit Schwerbehinderten zu besetzen, ansonsten war für jeden nicht entsprechend besetzten Arbeitsplatz eine Ausgleichsabgabe von monatlich 200 DM zu entrichten. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert die Ergebnisse der ersten ökonometrischen Untersuchung der Auswirkungen dieses Gesetzes auf die Arbeitsplatzdynamik in Kleinbetrieben. Mit Daten des IAB-Betriebspanels finden wir keine eindeutigen Hinweise darauf, daß der Beschäftigungsaufbau in Betrieben an der ersten Schwelle des Schwerbehindertengesetzes (d.h. mit 16 Beschäftigten) sich signifikant von demjenigen in Betrieben vor oder hinter der Schwelle unterscheidet.
