Logit estimation via multiple imputation, with fixed effects for year, temporal controls and the lagged
dependent variable are omitted. N=300. Pseudo-R2 and log-likelihood are calculated from one single
dataset, multiple imputation does not report them. *Significant at p<.10 level, **significant at p<.05
level, ***significant at p<.001 level. ↑OLS regression, dependent variable is the top marginal individual
