我们研究就业创造和破坏在东部和西部德国2000年至2006年期间，使用一个全面的数据集，使我们能够准确地捕捉总就业流量。我们的分析清楚地表明，德国两部分之间的显著差异只存在于数量上，而不存在于总就业增加和损失的构成上。这一发现独立于所观察到的植物的部门或大小类别。考虑到所有变量之间的相互作用，这是对德国总就业流动的首次计量经济学分析，表明就业创造和破坏在很大程度上可以用工厂特征来解释。在对其他国家的描述性研究中发现的模式，即工作重新分配率随着企业规模的减小而减小，在德国也是如此。创造的就业机会随着工厂年龄的增长而衰减，而区域特征只对就业机会的破坏很重要。
We examine job creation and destruction in Eastern and Western Germany for the period of 2000 to 2006, using a comprehensive dataset that enables us to capture precisely gross job flows. Our analysis clearly states that pronounced differences between the two parts of Germany exist only in terms of the magnitude, but not in the composition of gross job gains and losses. This finding holds independently of the observed sector or size class of plants. Considering interaction effects between all variables, this first econometric analysis on gross job flows for Germany shows that job creation and destruction can be explained to a large part by plant characteristics. The pattern found in descriptive studies for other countries that job reallocation rates diminish with firm size is similarly true for Germany. The creation of jobs attenuates with plant age, while regional characteristics are only important for job destruction.
