RWI-GEO-LAB: DIW-IAB-RWI–Neighborhoodpanel Labor Market Data

There is a lack of individual data for analyzing neighborhood effects that contains sufficient information about the direct neighborhood of individuals. At postcode level, this gap is to be closed with the DIW-IAB-RWI Neighborhood Panel for labor market data. Based on the Integrated Employment Biographies (IEB), aggregated data on employees (subject to social security contributions) and unemployed persons were generated. These data are available for the period 2004 to 2010.

The use of this weakly anonymized data set is only possible during a research visit at the FDZ Ruhr and in the secure room there. For this purpose, a personal guest scientist contract must be concluded. For information on data access, please contact fdz@rwi-essen.de.

This data can be merged to the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and other data sets of the participating research data centers via the household numbers. This will take place in the data security room of the FDZ Ruhr.
