Education and Vocational Training, Transitions and Labor Market Outcomes

该项目使用了NEPS成人队列与来自IAB Nürnberg提供的综合就业传记（IEB）的行政数据之间的联系。这些相关数据已于2014年3月提供。它们将使我们能够将NEPS中详细的教育信息与IAB数据中关于劳动力市场传记的精确信息结合起来。在项目的第一部分，我们将在第一个供资期的初步工作基础上开展工作。我们分析了教育途径和早期劳动力市场经验对长期劳动力市场结果的因果影响。学校的区域供应和区域劳动力市场条件将被用作中学和中学后教育和早期劳动力市场经验的工具变量。我们比较了进入劳动力市场的不同群体的年轻人。该项目的第二部分分析了教育途径如何应对区域劳动力市场的特点，如教育回报和产业结构。这个研究问题的动机是，在德国的教育程度有很大的不同地区的事实。

This project uses the linkage between the NEPS Adult Cohort and administrative data from the Integrated Employment Biographies (IEB) provided by the IAB Nürnberg. These linked data have become available in March 2014. They will allow us to combine the detailed educational information in the NEPS with precise information on labor market biographies in the IAB data. In the first part of the project, we will build on our preliminary work in the first funding period. We analyze the causal effects of educational pathways and early labor market experiences on long-term labor market outcomes. The regional supply of schools and regional labor market conditions will be used as instrumental variables for secondary and postsecondary education and early labor market experiences. We compare different cohorts of young individuals entering the labor market. The second part of the project analyzes how educational pathways respond to regional labor market characteristics such as returns to education and industry structures. This research question is motivated by the fact that educational attainment in Germany differs considerably across regions.
