Description

This Second Edition serves as a comprehensive companion to Econometric Analysis of Panel Data by Badi H. Baltagi (2021), now in its 6th edition published by Springer. Designed to support both students and applied researchers, this companion enhances understanding of the textbook's theoretical foundations, provides detailed solutions to many of its exercises, and offers additional empirical examples drawn from published applications in economics and related fields.

More than just a solutions manual, this volume includes hands-on empirical illustrations using Stata and EViews, making it a practical resource for those applying panel data and spatial panel methods in real-world research. It is ideally suited for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in econometrics, as well as for practitioners seeking a deeper grasp of the estimation and testing techniques used in panel data analysis.

Panel data econometrics continues to grow in popularity across disciplines--including economics, finance, marketing, political science, sociology, and agricultural economics--driven by the increasing availability of panel datasets, advances in econometric methods, and the development of user-friendly software.

This companion adds value by presenting exercises in a clear, logical, and pedagogical manner. While closely aligned with the structure and content of Baltagi (2021), the material is self-contained and can be used independently to build foundational knowledge in panel data econometrics.
