  1. The estimates in columns 1 through 7 and 9 are OLS coefficients from the 2010, 2012, and 2013 ATUS WB Modules; the estimates in column 8 are OLS coefficients from the 2012 and 2013 ATUS WB Modules. All estimates use the WB Module final weight (WUFINLWGT). Standard errors in parentheses. *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1. The following control variables are included in all columns in both Panels A and B: age and its square; three dummies for race/ethnicity; five education dummies; number of disabilities; an immigrant dummy; number of children; a metropolitan status dummy; two season dummies; year dummies; dummies for the DWS year; and state dummies. Columns 1 through 7 additionally contain a holiday dummy and six dummies for the days of the week. Panel B additionally includes two marital-status dummies; two employment-status dummies; and four dummies for family income during the last 12 months
