Empirical consequences of definitions: the case of unemployment in German register data

Definitionen und ihre empirische Folgen: 'Arbeitslosigkeit' in deutschen Registerdaten

'Quantitative Analysen, die auf Nationalen Registerdaten basieren, hängen stark von der Qualität der Daten ab, die von den erfassenden Institutionen zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Diese Datenqualität wird von institutionellen Regeln bereits im Prozess der Datenerhebung stark bestimmt, so zum Beispiel durch spezifische Messkonzepte. Den Effekt solcher Definitionen und ihrer Implementation auf die Datenqualität diskutiert dieses Papier anhand des Beispiels der Arbeitslosigkeitsdauer in Deutschland. Dazu werden zwei unterschiedliche theoretisch abgeleitete Definitionen diskutiert. Anhand ihrer Implementation in Prozessdaten der Bundesagentur für Arbeit wird die Auswirkung von Klassifikationen auf statistische Ergebnisse aufgezeigt.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'When using national register data for quantitative analysis, researchers depend on the quality of the data provided by the institutions collecting the data. Data quality is strongly influenced by institutional settings during data collection, e.g. underlying measurement concepts. Using the example of the duration of unemployment in Germany, this paper discusses the effects of the definition and their implementation on data quality. Therefore, two different definitions of (registered) unemployment are discussed. Implementing them into register data derived from German Public Employment Service, the effects of classifications on statistical results are shown.' (author's abstract)... view less
