Notes: The table shows difference-in-differences estimates using annual data at the commuting zone level for the period 1997–2017. The dependent variable is the share of native first-year students in the birth cohort. Column 1 shows first-year students with a general education (general matura) and Column 2 first-year students with a vocational background (vocational or specialized education). In Columns 3 and 4, we split the individuals with a vocational background into STEM and non-STEM. Column 5 shows results for first-year students who cannot be classified as generally or vocationally educated. Observations are weighed by the cohort size in 1997. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the commuting zone level. *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
