Summary View help for Summary
The Linked-Employer-Employee-Data of the IAB (LIAB) combine interviews from the IAB Establishment Panel with the related establishment and individual data generated in labor administration and social security data processing. The latter cover administrative establishment information from the Establishment History Panel (BHP) and the employment biographies of individuals employed by the interviewed establishments. The LIAB data allow for simultaneous analysis of the supply and demand side of the German labor market. The longitudinal model includes comprehensive employment biographies of individuals from a subsample of establishments repeatedly interviewed in the IAB Establishment Panel. Therefore, employment biographies can still be tracked in the events such as establishment changes or transitions into unemployment within this subgroup.

Data Source View help for Data Source
The administrative individual data were drawn from the Integrated Employment Biographies (IEB) of the IAB. The IEB combine data from different data sources, each of which may contain information from different administrative procedures. In addition, some supplementary variables from these data sources, which are not part of the IEB, are incorporated into the administrative individual data. In the individual data of the LIAB LM 7517, only the datasets from the sources Employee History (BeH) and Benefit Recipient History (LeH) are adopted from the IEB.
