WHY PANEL DATA?

The Singapore Economic Review (SER), 2005, vol. 50, issue 02, 143-154

Abstract: We explain the proliferation of panel data studies in terms of (i) data availability; (ii) the 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.
