This important reference work offers readers, researchers and students a thoughtful, balanced selection of core articles from the voluminous literature on panel data. The Econometrics of Panel Data will be welcomed by econometricians and economists as a central reference point and guide to current thinking. The first volume features work on variance components model, its extensions and applications, estimation of variances, dynamic models, instrumental variable estimators and random coefficient models. The second volume covers errors in variables and incomplete data, specification tests, limited dependent variables, frontier production functions and some practical problems with panel data. G.S. Maddala has chosen a series of key contributions by leading econometricians which guide the reader through the literature. As well as reproducing the central articles and papers, intact with their original pagination, the editor provides a comprehensive introduction and additional references which will allow students and researchers to pursue their studies further.
