Longitudinal and Panel Data

Analysis and Applications in the Social Sciences

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This title 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. The applications are enhanced by real-world data sets and software programs in SAS and Stata.
