The joint demographic and mobility effect | 0.754 (0.021) | 1.138 (0.034) | 0.861 (0.024) | 0.753 (0.021) |
Bias (ref. model 2.1) | -- | 0.384 | 0.107 | −0.001 |
Note: Figures in the parentheses are standard errors.
The mobility estimates are the same across all the models, because the prospective and the retrospective data yield the same results.
