New advances in the analysis of regional labour markets
Cultural Diversity and Local Labour Markets
Suedekum J., Wolf K. and Blien U. Cultural diversity and local labour markets, Regional Studies. The diversity of nationalities of foreign workers in the German labour market has increased considerably over the period 1995–2006. This paper investigates the effects of this diversity for native employees at the local level. The higher is high-skilled foreign employment, the higher are local wages and employment levels for natives. These effects are…

Forecasting Regional Employment with the ENTROP Method
The paper provides an outline of a method useful for forecasting problems. The approach is based on a combination of top-down and bottom-up techniques. It is applied to project employment in all 327 (western) German districts for a time span of two years. The most important step in the preparation of the forecast uses the ENTROP method, which is an entropy optimizing procedure, a generalization of common RAS techniques, newly developed for the es…
Wage Curve Analyses of Establishment Data from Western Germany
Using the IAB Establishment Panel, which is representative for western Germany, the authors find that establishment-level wages reacted to variations in the regional unemployment rate. The elasticity of wages with respect to unemployment, they estimate, was about −0.1. This responsiveness of the wage to regional variation is close to estimates found by other researchers (using individual rather than establishment data) for other countries, and co…
Identification Risks of Microdata
In the social sciences and in other fields where data from individual respondents are collected, it is an important concern that information remains confidential and that the identity of individual data providers is not disclosed. For several realistic scenarios, the present article examines the risks of discovering the identity of data providers even in cases where the microdata have been previously anonymized by some procedure. The results show…
L'anonymat des données individuelles
L' article introduit brièvement au problème général de la protection de la confidentialité des données statistiques issues d'enquêtes en sciences sociales. La protection de l'anonymat des données individuelles dépend essentiellement de l'impossibilité d'identifier des enregistrements anonymisés selon certaines procédures. Quelques scénarios ont été élaborés pour faire varier systématiquement les facteurs de risque d'identification. L'article prés…
