BIBB-CBS EER 2023

The data set with the DOI Number 10.7803/370.23.1.7.10 is especially generated to reproduce results from the article “Managers' Risk Preferences and Firm Training Investments” by Marco Caliendo, Deborah Cobb-Clark, Harald Pfeifer, Arne Uhlendorff and Caroline Wehner. The article is published in European Economic Review and analyses if and how managers’ risk preferences impact on the provision of training for workers in the firm.

The data set merges two original firm-level data sets of BIBB-CBS Wave 2012/13 and Wave 2017/18, containing an initial set of 7.990 (3.945 plus 4.045) firms. Apart from original and generated firm-level variables, the data set also contains the data of the vignette experiment (Wave 2017/18) that is at the heart of the analysis in the article. The do-files for reproduction of the results are available on the journal homepage.

The data set can be accessed for reproduction of results by external researchers on-site at BIBB, Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 114 – 116, D-53113 Bonn. The data set is not available for general or public research. After an application procedure, data access for non-commercial researchers may be granted by the Research Data Centre of the Federal Institute for Vocational Training and Education (BIBB-FDZ) for the purpose of replicating the results of the article only.
