    Using 21 waves of German high-frequency establishment panel data collected during the COVID-19 crisis, we investigate the effects of short-time work (STW) and working from home (WFH) on hiring, firings, resignations and excess labour turnover (or churning). Thus, we enquire whether STW avoids firings as intended by policymakers and is associated with unintended side effects by subsidising some establishments and locking in some employees. Additionally, where it was feasible, establishments used WFH to continue working without risking an increase in COVID-19 infections and allowing employed parents to care for children attending closed schools. While much of the literature investigating the effects of STW and WFH remains descriptive, we conduct panel data analyses. We apply data and methods that allow for the dynamic pattern of STW and WFH during the pandemic. Furthermore, our data include relevant establishment-level variables, such as the existence of a works council, employee qualifications, establishment size, the degree to which the establishment was affected by the COVID-19 crisis, industry affiliation and a wave indicator for the period the survey was conducted. Our results show the important influences of STW and WFH on employment during the pandemic. By means of STW, establishments are able to avoid an increase in involuntary layoffs, and hiring decreases significantly. In contrast, WFH is associated with a rise in resignations.

    Young firms find it difficult to attract (skilled) workers. Using linked employer-employee data for Germany we investigate how local labor market conditions affect the hiring success of young firms. In a first step, we estimate the probability of the founder becoming an employer. In a second step we analyze how local conditions influence the probability of hiring skilled human capital. The results indicate a positive relationship between the local unemployment level and the hiring probability of young firms. Junge Firmen haben oft Schwierigkeiten (qualifizierte) Beschäftigte einzustellen. Basierend auf einem Linked Employer-Employee Datensatz für Deutschland untersuchen wir den Einfluss regionale Arbeitsmarktbedingungen auf die Einstellungschancen junger Firmen. Im ersten Schritt schätzen wir die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ein Gründer Beschäftigte einstellt. Im zweiten Schritt verwenden wir ein Heckman-Selektionsmodell und analysieren, wie regionale Bedingungen die Einstellungswahrscheinlichkeit von qualifizierten Beschäftigten beeinflussen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen der regionalen Höhe der Arbeitslosigkeit und der Einstellungswahrscheinlichkeit junger Firmen.
