Abstract: "Due to changes in the data collection method in 2011, German Employment Register data temporarily exhibit an uncharacteristically high share of missing information (25 %) regarding the job activity profile (Tätigkeitsschlüssel). We assess the consequences of this on wage analyses and develop a simple model to impute the missings. To this aim, we compare the predictive power of Logit and linear probability models, classification trees and nonparametric probit models." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
