  2. The following controls are not shown: age, age2, married, children, sector and wave dummies. Standard errors are in parentheses. They are clustered at the individual level for the first column (pooled OLS regression), for the second column (fixed effects regression) standard s.e. are reported. a significant at the 1% level, b significant at the 5% level
