  1. Column (1) presents the result of the interaction term between self-rated health status and SMCoalOut, represented as Health; Column (2) shows the result of the interaction term between age and SMCoalOut, represented as Age; Column (3) presents the result of the interaction term between self-reported social status and SMCoalOut, represented as Social status. The question in all the waves regarding social status is, “How would you rate your social status in relation to others?” on a scale from 1 (very low) to 5 (very high). The standard errors are clustered at the county level. A two-tailed t-test is performed for each coefficient. The exact p values are in parentheses. ∗p < 0.1, ∗∗p < 0.05, and ∗∗∗p < 0.01.
