| Note(s): The regions of origin have been grouped into 11 categories, based on linguistic characteristics and sample size of country of origin as described in the text. The results, except those for the United Kingdom, are statistically significant at the 0.05 level at least, using robust estimates of the standard errors. The relatively sharp gradients for those from Hong Kong and India may reflect not only the English-related history of these regions, but also the emigration of ex-patriots, ethnicity not being controlled for in these regressions. | |||||||||||
