Note: These are fixed‐effects regressions. The sample here is respondents from the four 2020 waves of the COME‐HERE survey; there are 20,337 observations in each column. The Stringency Index and the Economic Support Index are standardised over the estimation sample. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the individual level. All regressions control for dummies for current labor‐force status, and wave and individual fixed‐effects. All interactions refer to values of the interacted variables measured at Wave One. The reference category for labor‐force status is respondents who are not employed. *, **, and *** respectively indicate significance levels of 10%, 5% and 1%.
