  1. This table reports the estimates from a post-lasso logit model. The set of included occupational shares is selected by cross-validation finding the model with the lowest MSPE. The covariate employment size and the industry fixed effects are needed to capture the effects of the stratified sample of non-MNEs. Standard errors are clustered at the treatment level, i.e., the firm level, following Abadie et al. (2017)
