Panel Data Analysis - Advantages and Challenges

No 06.49, IEPR Working Papers from Institute of Economic Policy Research (IEPR)
Abstract:
We explain the proliferation of panel data studies in terms of (i) data availability, (ii) the more heightened capacity for modeling the complexity of human behavior than a single cross-section or time series data can possibly allow, and (iii) challenging methodology. Advantages and issues of panel data modeling are also discussed.
