LISER hosts a safe room to enable access for researchers to confidential microdata from the Institute for Employment Research (IAB FDZ). The available data are based on social security records from the German Federal Employment Agency plus several linked surveys. Data for both firms and workers as well as matched employer-employee data are available.

Researchers must obtain a contract (user agreement) with the Research Data Centre (FDZ) of the German Federal Employment Agency (BA) at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) prior to making a reservation to the Luxembourg safe room.
