ESSEN |
For each of our explanatory variables we report marginal effects and their as-
sociated t-values. The marginal effects can be interpreted straightforwardly as
the percentage-point change in the probability to be regularly employed in re-
sponse to a unit-change in the respective explanatory variable, holding all
other explanatory variables, including indicator variables, at their mean val-
ues4. The associated t-values provide an assessment of the statistical reliability
4 For the continuous regressors, such as cohort size or age, a unit-change is a percentage point or a
year, respectively. For indicator variables, the corresponding unit-change is the hypothetical
switch from zero to one.
