Notes: Skin color is measured by the interviewer on an 11-point scale. Corrected skin-color averages are obtained from regressions that include, besides the race-Hispanic categories, interviewer fixed-effects and binary variables for whether the interview took place after the date of a memo to interviewers concerning the coding of skin color and for whether the interview was conducted in person. Average skin color not shown for cells with fewer than 20 cases.
