INTRODUCTION

Panel data is a dataset in which the behavior of variables is observed across time. This course focuses on the interpretation of panel-data estimates and the assumptions underlying the models using the STATA software. The concepts presented are reinforced with practical exercises at the end of each session.

Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Participation.

OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course the partakers will be able in all fields to manage and conduct analysis of linear, nonlinear, and dynamic panel data estimators using STATA.

DURATION

 5 days

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course will be highly beneficial to researchers, practitioners in all fields who want to learn about panel data estimates using STATA.
