  1. The model controls also for place of domicile at enrolment, disciplinary area, scholarship and diploma grade (only for Italians and SGs)
  2. SGs/ISs (1): models do not control for origin area; SGs/ISs (2): models control for origin area
  3. Source Authors’ elaboration on administrative data of Sapienza University of Rome
  4. SGs second-generation students; ISs international students; n.r. coefficients are not reported because computed on less than 10 observations
  5. *p < 0.1; **p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001
  6. aComputed only for Italians and second generations
  7. b“Classical and Scientific Lyceum” and “Other Lyceum” have been merged into “Lyceum” due to the small sample size of “Other Lyceum”
