"What Challenges Have You Faced Working with Panel Datasets?"
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working with panel datasets lately, and man, they can be tricky. Like, dealing with missing data is one thing, but balancing the time and cross-section dimensions feels like walking a tightrope sometimes.
Anyone else struggle with inconsistent time periods across units? Or am I just doing it wrong? Also, how do y’all handle attrition or gaps in the data without messing up the analysis?
And don’t even get me started on the computational load when the dataset gets huge.
Would love to hear your war stories or any tips you’ve picked up along the way.
Cheers!
