Notes: SHARE waves 1,2,4,5 (release 5.0.0), 28 360 observations from 11 390 respondents from 10 countries. γ, non-standardized regression coefficients of FI at average age. CI-95, 95% confidence interval. All models were adjusted for age, age2, sex, sex*age, birth cohort, non-response, death, and poverty*age. R2 refers to the fixed effects (marginal R2).
