Abstract: "This FDZ-Methodenreport introduces the do-file BP_panelgen_93YY_v1_en for combining all waves of the IAB Establishment Panel from 1993 to the most recent year to one panel data set in Stata. It explains the initial problem, outlines the structure of the do-file, describes the panel data set and provides operating instructions. The variables in the resulting panel data set are consistently named, coded and labelled to provide a standardized basis for panel anal-yses. The program code is kept simple and transparent so that users can easily adjust it if necessary. However, caution has to be taken as generated panel variables might still differ in content across waves due to changes in the questionnaire, for instance." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
