I posted the question below a few minutes ago. In case this helps, I can provide you with an example of I want to interpret:
Suppose I have an ordered logit of job satisfaction (discrete values from 1 to 5, 5 being the highest satisfaction) on log income (in yen, the mean of which in levels is 5 million yen) and a married dummy (1 if married). The estimate of my log income coefficient is 0.6 and that of the married dummy is 0.15.
If you can help me interpret these coefficients or provide some references that would help me in this interpretation, that would be great
Thanks a lot.

I have read a few papers in the "economics of happiness" literature where they use these ordered logits and probits but they never discuss what the magnitudes of the coefficients mean; they care only about the coefficients' signs and statistical significance. Similarly, the standard Greene econometrics textbook has very little regarding this interpretation.
