This introductory course will show what panel data CAN and CANNOT do to facilitate the study of causal effects. There is a strong emphasis on applied work using linear models and panel data econometrics methods will be illustrated using data from Understanding Society. The software used for the practical examples is Stata. Familiarity with the basic syntax and structure of Stata is required.
