		II. Program codes and additional information

The analysis has been carried out using the software Stata v14. For the extraction and compilation of the data used,
program codes provided by the Research Data Centre of the Institute for Employment Research have been modified and
used. The following codes have been submitted to the publisher in ASCII format:

i) codes provided by the Institute for Employment Research, modified
	master.do		
	1_syntax_panel_1993_1998.do	
	2_syntax_panel_1999_2014.do	
	3_Zusammenspielen.do	
	4_Variablen_und_Wertelabels.do	
	5_Werteuebertragung.do	

ii) codes for formatting the data, conducting the analysis and robustness checks
