dynemp: A routine for distributed microdata analysis of business dynamics
Abstract. In this article, we introduce a new command, dynemp, that implements a
distributed microdata analysis of business and employment dynamics and firm
demographics. As its data source, dynemp requires business registers or
comparable firm- or establishment-level longitudinal databases that cover the
(near-)universe of companies in all business sectors. Access to such
confidential data is usually restricted, and the microlevel data cannot be
brought together to a single platform for cross-country analysis. To solve this
confidentiality problem while also maintaining a high level of harmonization of
the key economic concepts, dynemp can be distributed in a network of
researchers who have access to the national confidential microdata. This way,
the rich firm-level employment dynamics can be analyzed from new angles (such
as firm age and size), significantly expanding the scope of analyses relying
only on more aggregated data.
