Notes: The dependent variable is the number of applicants. The baseline temperature bin is 20–25. Weather controls include: precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed, sunshine duration, and atmospheric pressure. Standard errors are clustered by city reported in parentheses. * p < 0.10, ** p < 0.05, *** p < 0.01.
