  1. p values in brackets. Standard errors are clustered by MS-regions. The regressions are run at the MS-regional level for the period from 1985–2016. \(\Delta\) indicates first differences. Cut-off levels refer to the respective percentile in the distribution of the stock of EU-15 foreigners relative to total population in year 1980 across MS-regions
  2. Significance levels: \(^{*}\) \(p<0.10\), \(^{**}\) \(p<0.05\), \(^{***}\) \(p<0.01\)
