Abstract
The LMU-ifo Economics & Business Data Center was founded by the Ifo Institute and the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich in 2008 to establish a central place for the collection and supply of research data on economic and business sciences. This joint initiative aims to increase synergies between empirical and theoretical research. Since its foundation in 1949, the Ifo Institute has collected relevant data for the Federal Republic of Germany with respect to cyclical trends, capital spending by firms and their innovation strategy. In addition to Ifo survey data, EBDC offers combined panel data sets of these surveys with balance sheet data from Amadeus and Hoppenstedt. These panels include both Ifo Institute survey data (Ifo panel data at firm level), as well as external accounting data and other structural enterprise information concerning corporate finance or investment activity.
