a

We assume that the country-level random effects are equal for “Some” and “All” categories; therefore, only one variance estimate is reported for the model.

b

Significance of random effects evaluated by comparing model with a similar one in which random effects have been constrained to be zero.

c

Compared to null model with no covariates.
