PfRc (geometric mean from the Malaria Atlas Project-MAP) and predicted PfRc (geometric mean from authors' predictions). The figure provides a static simulation of the model, as a simplified prediction of PfRc compared to the true values of PfRc provided by the Malaria Atlas Project. The blue line provides estimates from a standard fixed-effects model (within country). The orange line provides estimates from the Arellano−Bond model. The green line provides the Malaria Atlas Project PfRc
