Notes: The dependent variable is the log of the real hourly wage; wages below 1.5 € and above 150 € are excluded, nominal hourly wages are deflated by the CPI; AME – marginal effect gives the percentage change of the real hourly wage of employed people (conditional expectation of wages, given employment) derived from pooled OLS regressions with sample-correction for employment status for the years 2000/01, 2007/08, and 2013/14; standard errors (se) are clustered to account for the panel structure of the SOEP estimation sample. The wage regressions are estimated separately by gender and region include dummies for an individual’s educational/vocational qualification, health status and nationality as additional control variables and. The first-stage probit employment equation includes as exclusion restrictions dummies for marital status, children, and other household income and its square
