Results: Happy Economists

June 20, 2008 | 2 Comments | Joshua Gans

OK so here are the results of yesterday’s poll (thanks to Google Spreadsheets). The first number is the average (out of 5 where 5 is ‘Really Happy’ and 3 is ‘Neutral’) while the number in the brackets is the standard deviation.

4.35 (0.90)     3.3 (0.82)       3.47 (1.1)      

2.88 (0.79)   3.26 (1.06)     3.84 (0.81)

I am guessing Andrew Leigh’s picture was taken pre-baby.
