Audience:
Doctoral Students, Early Career Researchers

The aim of the workshop is to introduce participants to main assumptions and linear panel data models with particular reference to Pooled OLS, random- and fixed-effects estimation; how to use advanced Panel data methods and tools to estimate parameters, compute partial effects of interest in nonlinear models, quantify dynamic linkages, and perform valid inference; how to develop estimators with good properties under reasonable assumptions and to ensure that statistical inference is valid; during practical sessions, participants will go through several econometric examples which focus on estimation and interpretation of various panel-data models using Stata.
