  1. Notes: (i) The OLS coefficients for Public differ from those in Table 6 in the Appendix because coefficients are not normalised (Other is omitted). The reference group is the private sector, age 25–29, lower education, female, and in occupation d. (ii) Bootstrap standard errors are based on 50 repetitions. (iii) Job permanency information is not available for Denmark and the UK. (iv) F-tests are for the joint equality of coefficients across the five quantiles.
