Panel Data Analysis with Stata Course in Nairobi, Kenya

INTRODUCTION

This course focuses on the interpretation of panel-data estimates and the assumptions underlying the models that give rise to them. Both “real” data and simulation techniques will be used to build intuition for the methods covered in the workshop. The breadth of the lectures will be helpful if you want to learn about panel-data analysis or if you are familiar with the subjects.

The concepts presented are reinforced with practical exercises at the end of each section. We also provide additional exercises and materials at the end of each lecture and access to our experts for any further questions.

DURATION

5 days

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
