| Model | OR | CI (95 %) | pMCMC | ICC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M0: Empty model | — | — | — | 0.041 |
| M1: Individual-level predictors only | — | — | — | 0.027 |
| M2a: Intergenerational cohabitation/10 | 0.69 | 0.48–0.99 | 0.054 | 0.017 |
| M2b: Social trust | 1.07 | 0.75–1.55 | 0.683 | 0.030 |

Notes. SHARE, waves 4 (1.1.1) and 5 (1.0), unweighted data, n = 6,791. MCMC: 55,000 iterations, burn-in = 5,000, thinning 20 = eff. sample size ~ 2,500 per chain. OR = adjusted odds ratio of posterior mean, CI = 95 % credible intervals, pMCMC = Bayesian p-value, ICC = intraclass-correlation coefficient. M1 includes all individual-level variables, M2a-M2g include all individual-level variables and one country-level variable each.
aData not available for Italy, model M2g refers to 11 remaining countries. ICC for the reduced reference model M1noIT = 0.013.
