The German Business Panel addresses the lack of firm-level internal data on managers’ perceptions and their ensuing decision-making with regard to accounting-related matters. Since June 2020, the German Business Panel (C01) has distributed 12 different surveys in five survey waves, attracting more than 25,000 responses from companies of all sizes and industries. In the next funding period, it will continue to position the German Business Panel as a primary provider of data on firms in Germany by improving the data management and the recruiting of new participants. In addition, it will work—jointly with the other C projects—on making its data available and accessible to academics as well as decision-makers and the general public.
