Abstract

"The IAB Job Vacancy Survey asks German establishments, among other things, about their most recent hire. Unfortunately, a worker identifier that would allow the direct linking to administrative records is not available. This report describes an algorithm that allows to find reported hires in the administrative employment histories. Based on observable characteristics, the algorithm runs several plausibility checks that make sure that a valid and unique linkage is performed. With its default parameterization the algorithm finds around 70 percent of hires that were mergeable in the first place. The result is the identification of the most recent hire reported in the IAB Job Vacancy Survey in the Integrated Employment Biographies of the IAB." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
