INTRODUCTION
This course focuses on the interpretation of panel-data estimates and the assumptions underlying the models that give rise to them. Both "real" data and simulation techniques will be used to build intuition for the methods covered in the workshop. The breadth of the lectures will be helpful if you want to learn about panel-data analysis or if you are familiar with the subjects.
