The subsequent empirical analyses on employment, productivity, and persistence effects of innovation activities are mainly based on the Mannheim Innovation Panel (MIP). This chapter first presents some general background information on the data set including the survey methodology, response rates, and the information collected. It then provides the basic definitions of several innovation indicators which will be applied in the subsequent empirical analyses. The knowledge about the firms can be enriched by merging the MIP with other data sets. Therefore, a short description of the information used from other data sources follows. The chapter concludes by portraying the innovation activities of German firms at the aggregate level over the last 10 years using various input- and output-oriented innovation indicators.
