  1. Notes: Coefficients of linear probability models are displayed. The sample is restricted to first-generation immigrants aged 25 to 55. The outcome variable is naturalisation. Reported standard errors in parentheses are robust and clustered by individual. * (**/***) denotes statistical significance at the 10 % (5 %/1 %) level
