  • Notes: The dependent variable in all regression models is the natural log of the real monthly wages. Columns 1, 2, and 3 report, respectively, the OLS, the base, and full model regression coefficient estimates. Age (and its square) and time dummies included in the OLS model; age squared, time dummies, and worker fixed effects included in the base model; age squared, time dummies, worker–firm, and job title fixed effects included in the full model. Specification 1 presents the estimates of the coefficients of the displacement dummies for each year before and after displacement. Specification 2 aggregates the years into two periods before (years D −10D 0) and after (years D 1D 10) displacement; Specification 3 is a simple reparametrization of Specification 2 providing the net effect. Standard errors in Column 1 are clustered by worker and firm and in Columns 2 and 3 are bootstrapped at the worker level using 500 resamplings. The total number of observations equals 16,731,112.
