Notes: The coefficients represent the average marginal effects of the stability perception and resilience perception variables when they are both included in the ordered logistic regression model following model 3(b) in Table 1, after splitting the sample by sex. The specification includes: controls for risk attitude; a quadratic term for age; whether the respondent has a university qualification; (log) household income in the last twelve months; a dummy for childless respondents; and one for self-employed respondents. Regional fixed effects are included in the specification. Robust standard errors shown in parentheses.
