Abstract

Zusammenfassung Repräsentative Längsschnittdaten für Firmen (Betriebe bzw. Unternehmen), die für wissenschaftliche Auswertungen genutzt werden können, stammen in Deutschland vor allem aus zwei Quellen, dem IAB-Betriebspanel und den AFiD-Panel, wobei das Akronym AFiD für Amtliche Firmendaten für Deutschland steht, die von den Statistischen Ämtern erhoben werden. In diesem Vortrag werden sechs Aspekte für einen Vergleich dieser beiden Datenquellen herangezogen. Es zeigt sich, dass es sich hierbei um komplementäre und nicht um substitutive Inputs für die Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung handelt. Beide haben jeweils spezifische Stärken und Schwächen, die sie zur Analyse von konkreten Fragestellungen mehr oder weniger gut geeignet oder auch völlig ungeeignet machen. Daraus folgt, dass der Werkzeugkasten für die empirischen Forschung mit Längsschnittdaten für Firmen in Deutschland sowohl das IAB-Betriebspanel als auch die AFiD-Panel enthalten muss, denn nur so ist sicher gestellt, dass ein möglichst breites Spektrum von Fragestellungen mit jeweils adäquaten Daten untersucht werden kann
