Stata Panel Data ((install)) Jun 2026
To tell Stata your data is longitudinal, use the xtset command, which defines the panel variable (e.g., entity ID) and the time variable (e.g., year) [5.3]: xtset id year Use code with caution. Once set, you can use xt prefix commands. 2. Descriptive Analysis of Panel Data
| Model | Coef. (Hours) | Coef. (Age) | R-squared (within) | |-------|---------------|-------------|--------------------| | Pooled OLS | 0.008** (0.003) | 0.027*** (0.002) | 0.18 | | Fixed Effects | 0.012*** (0.004) | 0.022*** (0.006) | 0.17 | | Random Effects | 0.010*** (0.003) | 0.025*** (0.003) | - | stata panel data
This paper provides a complete, ready-to-use guide for conducting panel data analysis in Stata. You can adapt the empirical example to your own dataset. To tell Stata your data is longitudinal, use
All entities have observations for all time periods. Descriptive Analysis of Panel Data | Model | Coef
Once your data is set, use specialized "xt" commands for summaries and visualizations.

If the , reject the null hypothesis. The Fixed Effects model is superior to Pooled OLS. Random Effects vs. Pooled OLS (Breusch-Pagan LM Test)
