Hi everyone,


I am carrying out a study on the effect of unemployment on happiness(individual satisfaction).
The methodology of previous studies I have been using used ordered probit and ordered logit regression on STATA.
I attempted to do the same for my data set, I am using the UKHLS(UK Household longitudinal study).
Literature shows that there should be an inverse relationship between unemployment and individual satisfaction.
However, when I regress my dep (happiness score) with independent dummy variable unemployment as well as other variables I get the wrong coefficient signs.

Can anyone advise me with what I am doing wrong and why I am getting the wrong coefficient signs?

Much thanks.
