How to convert table to longtable

Question

I have the following table with environment threeparttable which can't fit on one page. I was pretty happy with all my LaTeX code and would really appreciate a solution where I don't need to change the interior of the table or write all the numbers again.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{booktabs, caption}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\DeclareMathOperator*{\plim}{plim}
\begin{document}

Please add a preamble with the necessary packages and beginning with \documentclass and ending with \end{document}. — Bernard, Commented Apr 18, 2019 at 18:00
unrelated but never use math italic for words like $Married/partner$ the math font is designed to separate letters so they look like a product of variables not a word. so $\log(\mathrm{assets})$ not $log(assets)$ — David Carlisle, Commented Apr 18, 2019 at 18:00
@DavidCarlisle you mean all my variable names should be non-italic? except when using operators like "log" ? — Emil Krabbe, Commented Apr 18, 2019 at 18:05
if you want then italic that is fine but use \mathit compare $difficult$ and $\mathit{difficult}$ \log does not just use the right font it also provides the right spacing. $\log x$ is not the same a $\mathrm{log} x$ — David Carlisle, Commented Apr 18, 2019 at 18:12
First, lose the center environment. See also tex.stackexchange.com/questions/359903/… — John Kormylo, Commented Apr 18, 2019 at 18:57

I show you a possibility to change your second table compiling with longtable and threeparttablex.

Please see that I did a pretty printing of your table tex code I recommend to get a table code the reader can better understand and to be able to find easy the cell he needs to change ...

Because your given code seems to be a mix of several tries I simply reduced the length of your used cell titles. At last you have to rework the complete table to fit your needs. BTW: the header for the last two columns in the table are missing. But the following is a starting point containing a compilable threeparttable in combination with longtable:
