Longitudinal and Panel Data - Analysis and Applications in the Social Sciences PDF

This book focuses on models and data that arise from repeated observations of a cross section of individuals, households, or firms. These models have found 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 graduate social science students as well as individual researchers. He emphasizes mathematical and statistical fundamentals but also describes substantive applications from across the social sciences, showing the breadth and scope that these models enjoy. The applications are enhanced by real-world data sets and software programs in SAS, Stata, and R. Edward W.
