Introduction

 

This course focuses on the interpretation of panel-data estimates and the assumptions underlying the models. This course is geared for researchers and practitioners in all fields. The concepts presented are reinforced with practical exercises at the end of each section. We also provide additional exercises at the end of each section and discussion sections on which you

 

Course Objective:

These course will equip you with analysis and implementation of linear, nonlinear, and dynamic panel-data estimators using Stata.
