  1. This table reports coefficients of the OLS estimation [Columns(1)–(3)], and of the probit estimation [Column (4)]. The dependent variables are different sentiment scores obtained through different algorithms, the names of which appear in the column header. All other explanatory variables are defined in Table S1. Robust standard errors in parentheses, clustered at programme-level: ***, **, *, indicate significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% level, respectively.
