Recent Developments in the Econometrics of Panel Data

Edited by Badi H. Baltagi, Distinguished Professor of Economics and CPR Senior Research Associate, Center for Policy Research, Syracuse University, US

'The editor of volumes like the present one has the chance to direct the reader's attention to nearly unknown but relevant papers. Baltagi has done this job very well. . . Summing up, the two volumes on recent developments of panel data belong in every library. The collection helps the newcomer to better understand this topic and it is a useful reference for the expert.'
