Note: the definitions and measurement of the variables are displayed in Table 14 in Appendix A. We indicate gross monthly wages as missing when a person earns nothing, less than nothing, or more than 10,000 euros a month. Robust or clustered standard errors are in parentheses. Fixed effects refer to those at the two-digit occupational level (ISCO codes).
