This volume collects seven of Marc Nerlove's previously published,
classic essays on panel data econometrics written over the past
thirty-five years, together with a cogent essay on the history of
the subject, which began with George Biddell Airey's monograph
published in 1861. Since Professor Nerlove's 1966 Econometrica
paper with Pietro Balestra, panel data and methods of econometric
analysis appropriate to such data have become increasingly
important in the discipline. The principal factors in the research
environment affecting the future course of panel data econometrics
are the phenomenal growth in the computational power available to
the individual researcher at his or her desktop and the ready
availability of data sets, both large and small, via the Internet.
The best way to formulate statistical models for inference is
motivated and shaped by substantive problems and understanding of
the processes generating the data at hand to resolve them. The
essays illustrate both the role of the substantive context in
shaping appropriate methods of inference and the increasing
importance of computer-intensive methods.
