Corrigendum to “Unemployment,Trust in Government,and Satisfaction with Democracy: An Empirical Investigation”

Bauer, Paul C. 2018. “Unemployment, Trust in Government, and Satisfaction with Democracy: An Empirical Investigation.” Socius 4(1). doi: 10.1177/2378023117750533

In the above article, as a result of a manual copy/paste error, Table 2 wrongly indicates that the Swiss Household Panel data contains a measure of satisfaction with democracy for the year 2012 and no life-satisfaction measure for the year 2010 when it should indicate the opposite (see the corrected Table 2 below). The error does not affect the results of the study.
