Panel Data Linear Analysis
Instructor: Badi Baltagi This course considers methodological and substantive issues concerning the analysis of panel data. It starts by reviewing basic panel data models emphasizing the benefits and limitations of panel data over time series or cross-section data. Basic estimation and testing methods for random and fixed effects models are reviewed and illustrated using empirical applications using Stata and EViews. Next, problems of endogeneity in panel models are studied and panel instrumental variable estimation methods as well as Hausman type tests are reviewed and applied using an empirical application. The course also covers an introduction to dynamic panel data models. Finally, for large macro panels with a large number of countries observed over a long time series, we study issues of non-stationarity and illustrate panel unit root tests using EViews. Program: 1.
