  1. Notes: The constant and year dummies are not reported to save space; age jt is the average age of workers; blue-collars jt is the percentage of blue-collar workers; size jt is the average size of firms, measured in thousands of employees; K/L j is the capital-labour ratio, measured in thousands of euro; firm-level coll. coverage j is the percentage of blue-collar workers covered by firm-level collective agreements
