Comment from the Stata technical group
If you need to know how to perform estimation and inference on panel data from an econometric standpoint, then Econometric Analysis of Panel Data, Fourth Edition by Badi H. Baltagi is the book to read. Aside from being a leading graduate textbook, this book is the standard reference, containing all the details you need to understand and implement the standard models. It also provides a very good introduction to the newer and more advanced techniques.
This book provides an excellent introduction for the student or the applied researcher because of its attention to detail and its use of examples, many of which use Stata. The detail is especially useful in the many sections that grow out of Baltagi’s own work. In these sections, readers gain a deep enough understanding of the models to implement them in a programming language like Stata. In other sections, such as the chapter on limited dependent variables, Baltagi combines a good introduction to the mechanics with an excellent introduction to the literature, allowing readers the opportunity to follow up for more details.
This fourth edition updates the coverage of recent theoretical developments. There is a new section on count panel data that links a detailed but intuitive theoretical discussion with examples using the Stata commands xtpoisson and xtnbreg. Baltagi has also considerably expanded the section on dynamic panel-data methods and has included Stata examples.
