  1. Notes: All models except column (4) include race, foreign-born, geographical, education, occupation, age, cohort, and sector dummies, as well as controls for the unemployment rate in the survey year and the sector experience. The symbol (d) indicates discrete change of dummy variable from 0 to 1. Statistical significance is represented by * for p<0.10, ** for p<0.05, and *** for p<0.01. Standard errors are clustered at the sector-wave level (at the sector level in Model (3) with random effects and Model (4) with fixed effects). Column (1) and column (5) report the marginal effects of logit and complementary log-log regressions. The individual fixed effects of column (4) replace all time-invariant dummies and impose the exclusion of the age dummies because of the collinearity with sector experience
