Purpose
A course on panel data modeling in STATA is a course designed to teach participant how to analyze and model panel data using the statistical software STATA. Panel data, also known as longitudinal data, is a type of data that captures observations over time for multiple individuals or groups. The course will cover the basics of panel data analysis, including the different types of panel data, the assumptions and limitations of panel data models, and the different techniques used to analyze and model panel data. Participant will learn how to use STATA to import, clean, and manipulate panel data, as well as how to fit different types of panel data models, such as fixed effects and random effects models, and interpret the results. The course will also cover advanced topics such as panel data with multiple levels, dynamic panel data models, and dealing with endogeneity and missing data.
The course will provide a hands-on approach, with participant working on real-world examples and datasets and using STATA to run the analysis and interpret the results. The course is intended for participant and professionals who have a basic understanding of statistics and econometrics, and who are interested in learning how to analyze and model panel data using STATA.
