Total number of observations is 1200. CIs are computed using heteroskedasticity-robust SEs corrected for clustering at the age group-year level. Regressions are population weighted. Regressors from ESS are additionally design-weighted. All models include year, age group and country fixed effects and all controls described in Methods section and in table 1. Reported R2 are 'within' R2. Significant associations (uncorrected, at 5% level) are shown in bold.
Analyses were conducted using the REGHDFE Stata package.42
