IAB/ZEW Start-up Panel

The IAB/ZEW Start-up Panel is a nationally representative sample that provides comprehensive information on start-ups and young companies in Germany. As a joint research project of the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and ZEW, it provides uniquely detailed insights into the structure and development of young companies. With its comprehensive and accurate data, the panel supports research, policy and practice in understanding start-up dynamics, assessing business situations and developing effective support instruments for new companies in Germany.

A detailed description of the data set, methodology and structure of the panel can be found in Rodepeter, E., Hottenrott, H., & Gottschalk, S. (2025). The IAB/ZEW Start-up Panel. Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik, (0).
