Regression models predicting life satisfaction with local-community income and control variables, with cluster-robust standard error estimates
Table summary
This table displays regression results that seek to test the association between life satisfaction and local-community income. The row headers describe the variables used in the regression models. The column headers identify the model specifications and, for each model, the coefficient and the level of statistical significance.
