“…The latter has a larger sample size of more than 200,000 mothers, while BASiD is substantially smaller. Despite that, the data sets are relatively similar since BASiD is constructed based on several administrative data sets, and the Social Security Records data is one of them (vom Berge et al, 2013;Hochfellner et al, 2012). If the estimation of the model based on BASiD leads to similar results, this would support the presumption that results based on BASiD are indeed comparable to empirical findings based on the Social Security Records.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper uses administrative data to investigate how a change in pension wealth affects a mother's employment decision after child birth. I exploit the extension of the child care pension benefit in 1992 as a natural experiment in a regression discontinuity design to estimate short-and medium-run employment effects. In comparison to most family benefits, the child care pension benefit is accumulated upon child birth but only becomes effective on the verge of retirement. Hence, the employment response depends on how a mother discounts future pension benefits. The results suggest that the change in pension wealth does not affect maternal employment, which is not in line with a forward looking rational behavior. Therefore, the child care pension benefit increases maternal old-age income without causing negative employment reactions.

“…The data also contain information about salaries, basic demographic variables such as age and gender, firm characteristics and regional identifiers among others. For more details about the BASiD, see Hochfellner et al [5]. For our analysis, we use a very similar sample as in [1] but only report the results for 2 of their 6 competing risks.…”

Despite its emergence as a frequently used method for the empirical analysis of multivariate data, quantile regression is yet to become a mainstream tool for the analysis of duration data. We present a pioneering empirical study on the grounds of a competing risks quantile regression model. We use large-scale maternity duration data with multiple competing risks derived from German linked social security records to analyse how public policies are related to the length of economic inactivity of young mothers after giving birth. Our results show that the model delivers detailed insights into the distribution of transitions out of maternity leave. It is found that cumulative incidences implied by the quantile regression model differ from those implied by a proportional hazards model. To foster the use of the model, we make an R-package (cmprskQR) available. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…An alternative version of the full BASiD 1%-sample (including also the data from the Federal Employment Agency) is also available at the Research Data Centre of the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). While the Pension Insurance version provides monthly spell information, the IAB version provides daily information for all pension relevant episodes (see Hochfellner et al 2012). 2 A further data set is the German Life History Study that sampled five birth cohorts in the former GDR born between 1929 and 1971 (for a documentation see Goedicke et al 2004). error.…”

Imputation rules for the implementation of the pre-unification education variable in the BASiD Data Set

Using combined data from the German Pension Insurance and the Federal Employment Agency (BASiD), this study proposes different procedures for imputing the pre-unification education variable in the BASiD data. To do so, we exploit information on education-related periods that are creditable for the Pension Insurance. Combining these periods with information on the educational system in the former GDR, we propose three different imputation procedures, which we validate using external GDR census data for selected age groups. A common result from all procedures is that they tend to underpredict (overpredict) the share of high-skilled (low-skilled) for the oldest age groups. Comparing our imputed education variable with information on educational attainment from the Integrated Employment Biographies (IEB) reveals that the best match is obtained for the vocational training degree. Although regressions show that misclassification with respect to IEB information is clearly related to observables, we do not find any systematic pattern across skill groups. Keywords
