Notes: LIAB cross-sectional model, West Germany, 2008–2010. The regressand is the log gross daily wage. The coefficient shown is the interaction effect of the competition and the female dummy. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the plant level. ***/**/* denotes statistical significance at the 1/5/10 per cent level. Regressors are those listed in Table 4.
