  1. Note: Dependent variable: logarithm of daily wages. Regressions are estimated pooling natives and immigrants coming from countries outside the EU-15. In addition, regressions include experience in Spain and abroad, the NAIRU (HP filter on the original unemployment) and region dummies. See Appendix Table A.1 for complete list of coefficients. Restricting time effects to certain macroeconomic variables has been widely used in the literature (see Beaudry and Lemieux, 1999).
