- Includes most recent empirical examples from panel data literature. For example, a simultaneous equation on Crime will be added to chapter 7, which will be illustrated with STATA.
- Chapter 12 on nonstationary panels will be totally rewritten, including an empirical illustration on the purchasing power parity literature and illustrated with EViews.
- Data sets will be provided as well as the programs to implement the estimation and testing procedures described in the book on the web site. Additional exercises will be added to each chapter and their solutions will be provided on the web site .
- The third edition will also update the panel data literature using newly published papers on dynamic panel data models (see chapter 8) and recent results on non-linear panel models and in particular work on limited dependent variables panel data models (see chapter 11). An empirical example using mortgage lending data is illustrated using STATA. The material on heteroskedasticity in panels (see chapter 5) is completely revised and updated with recent estimation and testing results. Other sections that will be updated include unbalanced panels (chapter 9), pseudo panels, heterogeneous panels and spatial panels
- Emphasis will be placed on the applications and the motivation for these methods and the reader will be referred to the corresponding article for technical details.
- A web site will be developed containing supplementary materials for lecturers
- Revision of established textbook by one of the leading international researchers and writers on panel data
"This is a definitive book written by one of the architects of modern, panel data econometrics. It provides both a practical introduction to the subject matter, as well as a thorough discussion of the underlying statistical principles without taxing the reader too greatly. Since its first publication in 1995, it has quickly become a standard accompanying text in advanced econometrics courses around the world, and a major reference for researchers doing empirical work with longitudinal data."
Professor Kajal Lahiri, State University of New York, Albany, USA.
"Econometric Analysis of Panel Dta is a classic in its field, used by researchers and graduate students throughout the world. In this new edition, Professor Baltagi has incorporated extensive new material, reflecting recent advances in the panel data literature in areas such as dynamic (including non-stationary) and limited dependent variable panel data models. It is an invaluable read for anyone interested in panel data."
Professor Gary Koop, University of Strathclyde, UK.
"Panel data econometrics is in its ascendancy, combining the power of cross section averaging with all the subtleties of temporal and spatial dependence. Badi Baltagi provides a remarkable roadmap of this fascinating interface of econometric method, enticing the novitiate with technical gentleness, the expert with comprehensive coverage and the practitioner with many empirical applications."
Professor Peter C.B. Phillips, Cowles Foundation, Yale University, USA.
"This book is the most comprehensive work available on panel data. It is written by one of the leading contributors to the field, and is notable for its encyclopedic coverage and its clarity of exposition. It is useful to theorists and to people doing applied work using panel data. It is valuable as a text for a course in panel data, as a supplementary text for more general courses in econometrics, and as a reference."
Professor Peter Schmidt, Michigan State University, USA.
"In this new edition Baltagi covers many of the recent developments in the literature on econometric analysis of panel data models. It is aimed at graduate students but many of its introductory chapters could also be helpful to advanced undergraduates and applied researchers across many disciplines including economics, finance, sociology, and politics. Baltagi has a gift explaining difficult concepts and ideas in a simple language, accessible to researchers and students alike. It is a timely and welcome addition to a growing literature."
