Longitudinal and Panel Data
Longitudinal and Panel Data
Analysis and Applications in the Social Sciences
Focusing on an analysis of models and data that arise from repeated observations of a cross-section of individuals, households or firms, this book also covers important applications within business, economics, education, political science and other social science disciplines. The author introduces the foundations of longitudinal and panel data analysis at a level suitable for quantitatively oriented social science graduate students as well as individual researchers. He emphasizes mathematical and statistical fundamentals but also demonstrates substantive applications from across the social sciences. These applications are enhanced by real-world data sets and software programs in SAS and Stata.
- A flexible and easy teaching text - includes many real world data sets and exercises and technical appendix to allow instructor to choose the topics to cover
- Contains many interesting historical references
- Software examples in SAS and Stata
