  • Notes: The table shows summary statistics for native outcome variables. The observation period for the enrollment outcomes is 1997–2017 and for the labor market outcomes 1996–2016. Data are at the commuting zone level. Lower-secondary level of education is compulsory education as highest degree, upper-secondary is a degree from an upper-secondary education with or without a matura exam, and tertiary is a degree from a university or university of applied sciences. Native enrollment rate is the share of native first-year students in the birth cohort. One-digit ISCED fields of studies are considered. Observations are weighed by the native cohort size in 1997 and the number of native employees in 1996 by education group, respectively.
