  1. Notes: Pooled results for the years 1998/1999 and 2001/2002, N=585 establishments. Confounding factors and staffing patterns computed based on deviations from the median indicator value in the establishments’ industry. Relationships between two indicators (significance level at least 10%): (+) positive, (−) negative, o none. Source: Elaborated for this study based on LIAB data
