Panel data (or longitudinal data) tracks the same cross-sectional units—like individuals, firms, or countries—over multiple time periods. While standard OLS regressions fail to capture the complex dependency structures of these datasets, Stata offers an industry-leading suite of tools specifically built to handle them.
