Abstract

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG - Diese Arbeit quantifiziert Verzerrungen, die sich bei der Verwendung von Daten aus der IAB-Beschäftigtenstatistik in Analysen von Betriebsgründungen und -schließungen ergeben können. Wir zeigen, daß bisherige Studien von Gründungs- und Schließungsdaten ausgegangen sind, die im Mittel aller Industrien um mindestens 44 Prozent bei Gründungen bzw. 39 Prozent bei Schließungen zu hoch liegen. Eine Varianzzerlegung zeigt, daß die Verzerrungen in erheblichem Ausmaß durch industrieund zeitspezifische Komponenten erklärt werden können und damit größtenteils systematischer Natur sind. Korrekturen dieser Verzerrungen sind zwar möglich, müssen aber Tradeoffs hinsichtlich der Datenverfügbarkeit" (insbesondere für Panelstudien) berücksichtigen.
