“…We managed to exceed our first wave target and reached a panel stability of 51.4%. This value is slightly higher than in a comparable study among unemployed in Germany carried out by the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) (Arni et al 2014), despite the fact that our target group was even more challenging (consisting only of young people instead of all working-age individuals) and despite the fact that participation in the first wave was not conditional on agreement to participate in follow-up waves (in contrast to the IZA study where all first-wave respondents had to agree on participation in the panel up-front). Thus, our strategies to increase response rates seem to have been successful compared to similar studies and compared to our initial expectations.…”

Survey response rates are especially low among young people, those with low levels of formal education and those who are not well integrated into society. These effects are amplified in panel studies, where similar factors influence the propensity of continued participation in survey waves. As a result, conducting a panel study on young, unemployed people is particularly challenging. The paper describes the difficulties associated with selection effects and panel mortality in this particular group and the remedies applied in the JuSAW project, where we conducted a panel survey among young adults aged 18-28 who became unemployed between May and September 2014. Based on our experiences and a detailed analysis of sample balance and panel stability, we develop recommendations for future studies.

“…The IZA Evaluation Dataset Survey is specifically designed to shed more light on the transition process from unemployment to employment (see Arni, Caliendo, Künn, and Zimmermann, 2014, for details) and the role active labor market policies (ALMP) can play. The dataset contains a 9% random sample from the monthly unemployment inflows, between June 2007 and May 2008, of approximately 206,000 individuals identified in the administrative records.…”

Although home-ownership has been shown to restrict geographic labor mobility and to affect job search behavior of unemployed, there is no evidence so far on how it affects their future re-employment outcomes. We use two waves of detailed German survey data of newly unemployed individuals to study the effect of home-ownership on the job search behavior of unemployed and their re-employment outcomes. We show that unemployed who own a home are less willing to move and also less likely to apply for jobs for which one would have to move. However, we do not find any evidence for compensations of their restricted mobility by more intensive (more search channels or applications) or different (more active or informal) search behavior. Furthermore, we find that home-ownership does not seem to harm the employment prospects of the unemployed. Although the re-employment probability in the short-run is slightly lower, we find that after one year home-owning unemployed have found better re-employment jobs, in terms of wages and job satisfaction, than their renting counterparts.JEL Classification: J64, J61

“…The advantages of administrative records as a data source for scientific research are straightforward [1]. Administrative records are consistently and accurately collected, resulting in highly reliable data covering a large number of observations, in some cases even 100% of the population (for example, in Scandinavian countries).…”

“…However, there are also some limitations associated with administrative records data, which can reduce their usefulness for scientific research [1]. Access is often strictly controlled because of data security concerns, and the range and variety of variables is limited since administrative data are collected for administrative purposes rather than for research purposes.…”
