Note.—See the table 1 note for sample restrictions. Columns report coefficients from estimation of eq. (1). Column 1 pools three cross sections (1900–1920); the regression in cols. 2 and 3 adds the matched panel sample. The coefficients in col. 2 are interactions between the right-hand-side variables listed and a dummy for being in the cross section, and col. 3 reports interactions between the right-hand-side variables and a dummy for being in the panel. The omitted category is native-born men in the cross section. Coefficients on age, census year dummies, and country-of-origin fixed effects are not shown.
