Causal Inference
Fixed effects is a statistical method used in regression analysis to control for unobserved variables that do not change over time, effectively isolating the impact of the variables of interest. By using fixed effects, researchers can account for individual-specific characteristics that could bias the results, ensuring that comparisons are made within the same entity or subject across different time periods. This approach is particularly useful in panel data analysis, where multiple observations exist for the same subjects over time.
congrats on reading the definition of fixed effects. now let's actually learn it.
