Table summary
This table displays regression coefficients on month-of-the-year dummy variables from different life satisfaction regression models. The row headers list the month of the year. The column headers specify the survey name and for each survey, the type of regression model estimated: one is an unadjusted regression, or a regression with no other control variables; the other is an adjusted regression, or a regression with a set of control variables.
