  1. Notes: The data sets used are the GSOEP, waves 2000–2009, and the GTUS 2001/2002. The dependent variable is the log gross hourly wage in the GSOEP samples and the log net hourly wage in the GTUS samples, respectively. Standard errors (clustered at the individual level in the GSOEP samples and robust in the GTUS samples) are given in parentheses. Further controls included are years of schooling, experience (linearly and squared), tenure (linearly and squared), number of children in the household, sets of dummy variables for flexible working time, temporary contract, establishment size, states of residence, years, one-digit industry, and one-digit occupation. “Omitted” refers to cells with no observations
