Notes: Contract-level regressions estimate wage and performance effects from ethnicity-based contracts using variation among ethnic Indian company contacts located outside of India. Regressions are unweighted, include fixed effects for year x job type x country of company contact, and report standard errors that are two-way clustered by originating company and worker. Fixed effect regressions bootstrap standard errors. Performance observation counts are lower due to ongoing jobs (99% of cases) or missing values. Worker controls are those listed in Table 7. ***, **, and * denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% levels, respectively.
