the unemployed would be against immigration if they anticipate immigration
to affect their labor market negatively, further reducing the employment
prospect. The marginal effect of isb is significantly positive for Germany,
Luxembourg and the Netherlands. But it is negative for Finland. Note
that the marginal effect of isb was significantly positive for Luxembourg also
among those who expected immigration to reduce wages: see Table 6(a).
The marginal effect of media is generally negative except for Italy where it
is significantly positive. The media seems to have a pro-immigration effect
among those who did not anticipate a wage fall due to immigration, while it
was found insignificant among those who expected immigration to induce a
wage reduction.
The marginal effect of relinc is not statistically significant except for
Greece where it is negative at 10 percent. A higher educational attainment
continues to be associated with a lower probability of being anti-immigration,
although the educational attainment dummies are not statistically significant
for Austria, Spain and Luxembourg. Since the education dummies were
insignificant for these countries also in Table 6(a), we might conclude that
education is not an important determinant of individual attitudes toward
immigration in these countries once we control for the subjective perception
of the impact of immigration on wages.
The effect of having immigrant friends remains generally negative, and
the magnitude is increasing in the number of such friends, except for Italy
and Luxembourg where it is statistically insignificant. Note that, for Luxem-
bourg, the effect of having immigrant friends was insignificant also in Table
6(a). The effect of racist is positive. So is the effect of citizen: in particular
