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. In addition, yearly industry and occupation fixed effects are considered. Column (1) excludes the 1% of observations having the largest value of the variable of interest implicit emission tax interacted with the green potential and column (2) the 1% with the lowest value. Column (3) shows the full sample for comparison. 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: \(^{*}p <0.1\); \(^{**}p <0.05\); \(^{***}p<0.01\)
