Note(s): z-statistics based on robust standard errors. The results are obtained from the twofold RIF decomposition, based on the pooled estimation with the corresponding field of study dummies. All regressions contain controls for wave dummies, previous potential experience, current job tenure and firm size (all quadratic), dummies for marital status, number of children, and dummies for occupation, sector and nuts2 regions
