Sample sizes are 477 for all-lag-order sample, and 198 and 279 for the 1–4 lag-order and 5+ lag-order samples, respectively.

Dependent variable: fraction of population in the relevant age-year-quintile cell that changed quintiles over the lag orders shown.

Independent variables in addition to time trends: A2, A2−A1, and (A2−A1) squared (see notes to Table 2 for definitions).
