CLARIFICATION: Captions do not match Figures in the document

Posted by heblich on 22 Feb 2015 at 17:03 GMT

Please note that the Captions do not match the Figures in this document. The correct matches are:

- Caption Figure 1 (p.4) relates to Figure 2 (p.5) in the text

- Caption Figure 2 (p.5) relates to Figure A in the Supplementary Information

- Caption Figure 3 (p.8) relates to Figure 1 (p.4) in the text

- Caption Figure 4 (p.10) relates to Figure 3 (p.8) in the text

- Caption Figure 5 (p.11, bottom) is displayed without a figure but relates to Figure 4 (p.10)

Please look at the working paper version of this paper at http://ftp.iza.org/dp8640... for a correct display of all Figures and their Captions.
