Overview
Key facts
- Radboud University offers the Panel Data Analysis programme.
- In addition, the course places a special emphasis on the connections between these methods and causal inference, which is the primary goal of all social science research.
- Panel data are particularly well suited for causal inference as they allow you to control for unit-specific factors/individual heterogeneity, such as geography and culture, which may be unobserved and can be difficult to measure.
- Furthermore, panel data usually provide you with more degrees of freedom and more sample variability than purely cross-sectional or time-series data, and hence improve the efficiency of parameter estimates.
Programme Structure
Course include:
- This course aims to strike a balance between statistical theory and practical application, and you have the opportunity to learn and practice how to use panel data methods with the help of the popular statistical software R and Stata as well as to develop an understanding and appreciation for the science behind these methods.
