On the one side the success of the IAB Establishment Panel Survey can be traced to the high response rate and the excellent data quality necessary for panel analyses as well as the unique possibility to use the establishment register of the Employment Statistics of the Federal Employment Agency to draw the samples and to build linked-employer-employee data sets. Of equal importance is the dynamic development of the questionnaire and the inclusion of new questions. The most relevant topics are: (1) the establishments’ flexibility, (2) the demand of skilled personnel, vocational and further training, (3) innovations as well as technological and organizational change, (4) industrial relations, and (5) the labour market effects of the Great Recession 2008/2009. © 2013, Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung.
