The construction of a Longitudinal Matched Employer-Employee Microdata data set

In this paper we present a matched employer-employee dataset built for the Portuguese economy that is used to the analysis of issues such as business demography and adjustemtn processes in the labour market.

This type of data is very useful as it combines information on both sides of the labour market and provides unique framework to analyse the interactions that take place.
