    Panel data models have become increasingly popular among applied researchers due to their heightened capacity for capturing the complexity of human behavior as compared to cross-sectional or time series data models. As a consequence, richer panel data sets also have become increasingly available. This 2003 second edition is a substantial revision of the highly successful first edition of 1986. Advances in panel data research are presented in a rigorous and accessible manner and are carefully integrated with the older material. The thorough discussion of theory and the judicious use of empirical examples make this book useful to graduate students and advanced researchers in economics, business, sociology, political science, etc. Other specific revisions include the introduction of the notion of strict exogeneity with estimators presented in a generalized method of moments framework, the notion of incidental parameters, more intuitive explanations of pairwise trimming, and discussion of sample selection dynamic panel models.

    •  Second edition of the standard work in the economics/statistics literature on panel data
    •  All chapters except chapter 5 have been revised, two new chapters on incomplete panel data, simulation methods, unit root tests, data with multi-level structures
    •  Author internationally renowned; this is his fourth work with the Press

    Reviews & endorsements

    'Researchers will find that the insights that they gain from working through the book's tougher sections are well worth the effort. The book remains an indispensable and comprehensive reference for panel estimation methods.' David C. Ribar, International Journal of Forecasting
