Description

A graduate text on panel data that takes the reader gradually from simple models and methods in scalar (simple vector) notation to more complex models in matrix notation.

  • Takes the reader from simple models and methods in scalar (simple vector) notation to more complex models in matrix notation
  • Covers unbalanced panel data, the measurement error problem, random coefficient approaches, the interface between panel data and aggregation, and the interface between unbalanced panels and truncated and censored data sets
  • The 12 chapters are intended to be largely self-contained, although there is a natural progression
  • Suitable for master and advanced undergraduate courses
