  • Note: Standard errors are given in parentheses. Individual wages are top-coded, therefore means of log-wage are estimated using worker-level data maximizing saturated normal likelihoods at the firm level. Means of wages are then recovered by the moment generating function. Standard errors are obtained using the Delta Method.
