Notes: ***, ** and * denote significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% level respectively. Each equation also includes a constant.
Marginal effect are (a) for the age variables:
βΦ(βX) with Φ() the normal cumulative distribution function and β the
vector of estimated coefficients and (b) for each dummy explanatory variable
Xk: Φ(βX-k + βk) - Φ(β X-k) with X-k
the vector of explanatory variables except Xk . X is taken at the sample mean.

Figures in brackets give standard errors of the marginal effects calculated by the delta method.
