The aim of this course is to communicate the skills necessary to understand and assess the applications of panel data analysis reported in the Business Economics literature, and to provide skills which could be applied to analyzing a variety of research and policy problems related to Business Economics. The course is intended as an introduction to the issues and opportunities arising when a panel data structure is available. In particular, the course covers the different structures of data and the advantages and limitations of panel data. Additionally, a new approach to modern econometric analysis is provided, highlighting the role of conditional expectations. Both static and dynamic models for panel data analysis are presented, with special attention to choosing the most suitable estimator for each model. As a result, the course focuses on the decisions that the researcher should make instead of the algebraic derivation of the models. Moreover, several cases on how to derive economic models combining panel data and Stata ® are discussed. Finally, the efficient research process using panel data and Stata ® is shown by analyzing a case.
