(shown only for Model III): England -.88 (.53); Germany
2.44 (.60); Sweden 1.64 (.59). The effects of immigrants’ share on ethnic tolerance are (Model III):
England .86 (1.35); Germany
1.23 (.44); Sweden 3.24 (.69). The effects of ethnic proportion on participation are (Model II): England .14 (.32); Germany .69
(.39); Sweden
