"This paper will introduce new methods to estimate the two-way fixed effects model and the match effects model in datasets where the number of fixed effects makes standard estimation techniques infeasible. The methods work for balanced and unbalanced panels and increase the speed of estimation...

"Researchers analyzing wages with the German IAB employment sample are confronted with a censoring problem: The data comes from the social security accounts. Therefore the wages are only given up to the contribution limit of the social security (A documentation of the data set is found in...

"The paper proposes a memory saving decomposition of the design matrix to facilitate fixed effects estimation of the three-way error component model with high numbers of observations and groups. A common way to estimate such a model is to include two of the effects as dummy variables and to...

We study the relationship between cyclical job and worker flows at the plant level using a new data set spanning from 1976-2006. We find that procyclical labor demand explains relatively little of procyclical worker flows. Instead, all plants in the employment growth distribution increase their...

We study the relationship between employment growth and worker flows in excess of job flows (churn) at the establishment level using the new German AWFP dataset spanning from 1975-2014. Churn is above 5 percent of employment along the entire employment growth distribution and most pronounced at...

This paper describes the new Administrative Wage and Labor Market Flow Panel (AWFP). The AWFP is a dataset on labor market flows and stocks for the universe of German estab-lishments. It contains data on job flows, worker flows, and about wages for each establishment. The AWFP contains this...
