ECMT6007: Analysis of Panel Data
2025 unit information
Research in economics, finance, marketing, and accounting has been enriched by increased availability of panel data. A 'panel' refers to the pooling of observations on a cross-section of households, countries, firms, or individuals over several time periods. This unit equips students with a set of tools for the analysis of panel data, with particular emphasis on dealing in a pragmatic way with fundamental issues that arise in panel data and identifying effects that are not detectable in pure cross-section or time series data. We will also cover some general estimation methods and frameworks for identification that can be used in other settings but are pervasive in the analysis of panel data.
