Endogeneity assessments
2. Multilevel moderated mediation structural equation model error term correlation assessment (supplementary file 9)Weak and insignificant correlations between DA, INNOVATION(ε) and FP(ε)Weak and insignificant correlations between DA, INNOVATION(ε) and FP(ε)
3. Instrument variable based 2-stage model estimation (supplementary file 10.1)Significant evidence DA is exogeneous to FPSignificant evidence DA is exogeneous to FP
4. Instrument-free Gaussian Copula model estimation (supplementary file 10.1)Not applicableSignificant evidence DA is exogenous to FP
