This two-day workshop will provide advanced training on Panel Data Methodology.

Dates:17-18th May 2017

Times: 10.00-17.00 (both days)

Venue:Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA), Worsley Building, Level 11, Room 11.06 (University of Leeds)

Panel data methods refer to econometric tools used to estimate parameters, compute partial effects of interest in nonlinear models, quantify dynamic linkages, and perform valid inference when data are available on repeated cross sections. The aim of the workshop is to:

• Identify and discuss how violation of assumptions affect the validity of the statistical inference;
• Develop estimators with good properties under reasonable assumptions and ensure that statistical inference is valid.
• Provide practical skills in conducting Econometric analysis by using statistical software tools such as STATA;
• Establish a network of quantitative researchers that will share best econometric practices.

Participants are not expected to bring laptops with software installed as the room has computers with pre-installed STATA software.
