Dataset: The Linked Personnel Panel (LPP)

This data in brief article describes the Linked Personnel Panel, a unique longitudinal employer-employee data set, which is representative for German establishments in the private sector with at least 50 employees. The LPP links employee-level information (e.g., about attitudes, preferences and personality) with establishment-level information on management practices and structural firm characteristics. The LPP up to now contains information on more than 7000 randomly drawn employees aged between 18 and 74 working in 700 to 1200 establishments in three survey waves 2012, 2014 and 2016. The LPP can be used by any researcher via remote access and/or on-site use. The LPP is used in the article “The Role of Preferences, Attitudes, and Personality Traits in Labor Market Matching” published in Economics Letters [2].
