Abstract

The introductory chapter discusses the benefits and challenges of the panel design, among them the possibility to control for unobserved heterogeneity, but also the problems of keeping a panel representative over time. Using typical examples from recent journal articles, it shows that panel data are used not only for the analysis of individual change, but also for the analysis of overall trends. Correspondingly, statistical models for panel data focus either on the change or the level of a dependent variable Y over time. Y can be either continuous or categorical. The chapter concludes with an outline of the following chapters and a summary of the methodological prerequisites a reader should have to benefit from working with this textbook.
