Note: OLS regressions. Standard errors in parentheses. ^*** $p < 0.01$ ; ^** $p < 0.05$ ; ^* $p < 0.1$ . The sample is restricted to furloughed respondents to the May survey wave. The dependent variable is a dummy variable that takes the value of 1 if the respondent had an equal say in the decision to initiate the furloughing or if the furloughing was mostly the respondent's decision. The dependent variable takes the value of 0 if the furloughing was initiated fully or mostly by the employer.
