  • a. Number reported is the cost per year as a proportion of the income of the control group at the same point in time.

  • b. Robust standard errors in parentheses; standard errors for matching estimators are bootstrapped (50 replications).

  • *** significant at 1 percent;

  • ** significant at 5 percent;

  • * significant at 10 percent.

  • c. DiD and FE estimates include measures of sex, age, region, occupation, industry, union coverage, firm size and calendar time.
