Source: Mano and others 2010. Note: The number of observations is 429. Panel a reports all the estimates of the coefficients of the random-effect model. The interactions between the dummy for machinist and the year dummies (2002, 2004, and 2008) are included in the estimation, but are not reported. Panel b highlights the DID estimate of the treatment effect. t-statistics based on robust standard errors are in parentheses. *** p < 0.01. ** p <0.05. * p <0.10. † Model fitted on the data fails to meet the asymptotic assumptions of the Hausman specification test.
