The sample is an unbalanced panel covering 37 Swiss industries between 2008 and 2017. The dependent variable in all columns is the log of occupational employment. All model specifications include fixed effects for occupations, industries and years. Columns (2), (3) and (4) additionally include the implicit emission tax. It is not included in column (1) as otherwise one of the two green potential group dummies are fully absorbed. Data are from the FSO and the SLFS. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the industry level. Significance levels for the coefficients are indicated as: \(^{*}p\) <0.1; \(^{**}p <0.05\); \(^{***}p <0.01\)
