Empirical · Model class

Panel / cross-country empirical macro

Pooled data across countries or regions to learn from variation that a single time series cannot show on its own.

What this class is for

When to reach for panel / cross-country empirical macro

Use this class when one country is not enough -- when the question needs cross-country variation, fixed effects, or panel dynamics to be answerable.

Each model below has its own reference page with overview, graph, proof, and comparison material.

Panel / cross-country empirical macroReference/Reference catalog

Fixed-effects panel

Pooled cross-country or cross-region regression with country and time fixed effects to net out unit-level and aggregate variation.

Best for: Cross-country macro questions where unobserved country-level differences would otherwise contaminate the estimate.

Panel VAR

Vector autoregression estimated across a panel of countries or regions to study common dynamics and shock propagation.

Best for: Joint dynamics across many countries when a single-country VAR would be too small and a global VAR is too heavy.
