Notes: We use exponential models for this table. The table shows separation rate elasticities for high routine task intensity (RTI), high nonroutine manual task intensity (NRMTI), and high nonroutine cognitive task intensity (NRCTI) workers. To compute the elasticity of high TI workers we add the coefficient of the interaction term to the coefficient of the log wage in the respective estimations. RTI, NRMTI and NRCTI are standardized with mean zero and standard deviation one. Thus, for instance workers with low RTI are workers with RTI one standard deviation below the mean, and workers with high RTI are workers with RTI one standard deviation above the mean. Same control variables as in Table 2.
