N and L denote the total no. of firms and employees in the target firm population; n and l denote the total no. of firms and employees in the sample; n^STW and l^STW denote the number of firms and employees with short-time work. The data for the firm population refers to end 2008 and end 2013. Thus, the number of employees in short-time work can exceed the number of total employees in a firm.
