Abstract

In recent decades, in addition to time series data and comparative data, panel data has been intensively used in empirical research. The application of these data series facilitates the implementation of analyses that could not otherwise be carried out using individual time series or comparative data. One of the key advantages of the panel data model in researching numerous economic phenomena and other aspects of social reality is that it provides the maximum amount of information from a limited number of observations per observation unit in a given time period while minimizing the number of degrees of freedom. Greater data variability contributes to greater efficiency of estimates and a reduction of multicollinearity, and given that these models enable the observation of variations by observation units (individual effects) and by time periods (time effects), the analysis of structure and changes in structure over time can be performed simultaneously. In addition, panel models provide greater informativeness as a result of an increased sample size and a higher number of degrees of freedom.
