  1. This table displays odds ratios from Gologit regressions that m-1 models, where m is the number of clusters. The dependent variable is an indicator of Prudence'screening by platforms, and the highest Prudence is the reference category. Imprudent models are displayed in columns 1, 3 and 5, and neutral groups in Columns 2,4 and 6. The variables with superscript α meet the odds assumptions and are the same in all categories (e.g. debt-to-income ratio, home mortgaged, home owned). For variables violating proportional odds assumptions, refer to coefficients for responses of 2,3 vs 1 group (Low Prudence models) and category 3 vs 1, 2 in Neutral models
