This project maintains and expands international data sharing between the German Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and US researchers. The principle is to provide researchers with increased ease of access to confidential survey and administrative data while maintaining data security by establishing a secure connection between secure Research Data Centers or data enclaves which share comparable standards with regard to data and confidentiality protection. The PIs have piloted this approach with the establishment of such a data enclave at the Michigan Center for the Demography of Aging at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. This award builds on the pilot by supporting the continued operation of the Michigan enclave and the expansion to other locations in the US Research Data Center network, including locations at Cornell and the University of California, Berkeley.The data sharing arrangement allows qualified researchers access to extremely rich German survey and administrative data. The data can be linked, have a panel structure, and cover all firms and employees in Germany (including the former East Germany) from 1975 to the present. These data will be used in cutting-edge statistical analyses that compare US and German labor markets, macroeconomic dynamics, international trade, and industrial organization. The data are also useful for a wide range of methodological research. The project also contributes to graduate education; the ease of access to the German data means that graduate students can practice advanced data analysis skills in a practical way.

该项目维持和扩展了德国就业研究所（IAB）和美国研究人员之间的国际数据共享。 该原则是为研究人员提供越来越易于​​获取机密调查和管理数据的易用性，同时通过在安全的研究数据中心或与数据和机密性保护方面共享可比较标准的数据中心或数据飞地之间建立安全连接。 PI通过在密歇根大学社会研究所的密歇根州人口统计中心建立了这种数据飞地来试用这种方法。 该奖项是通过支持密歇根州飞地的继续运作以及向美国研究数据中心网络中其他位置的扩展而建立的，包括康奈尔大学和加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的地​​点。数据共享安排使合格的研究人员可以访问极为丰富的德国调查和行政数据。 数据可以链接，具有面板结构，并从1975年到现在覆盖德国（包括前东德）的所有公司和员工。 这些数据将用于比较美国和德国劳动力市场，宏观经济动态，国际贸易和工业组织的尖端统计分析。 数据也可用于广泛的方法论研究。 该项目也有助于研究生教育；易于访问德国数据意味着研究生可以以实际的方式练习高级数据分析技能。
