    These numbers do not sum up to 90, as some studies were included multiple times in Table 3.1 (as mentioned in the first paragraph of Sect. 3.3).

  11. 11.

    In general, comparing the results across the rows of Table 3.1 is very tricky, as the experiments differed substantially with respect to at least the following characteristics of their design: (i) region of the experiment; (ii) experimental population (e.g., with respect to age and education level); and (iii) sectors, occupations, and vacancies tested.
