  1. All coefficients are significant at p < 0.01. The numbers in the first column are the exponential of coefficients related to the correlation between age-education groups and earnings for 1990 (main effects). The exponentials in the other columns take into account the 1990 main effects interacted with each additional year, using linear combinations of estimators in Stata (command “lincom”). Standard errors are reported in parentheses
