Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-27 00:00:00 Timothy Kleveno Oof. We only read about half of this book for my course at ICPSR. I have the phrase "come back and review more thoroughly" written all over my reading notes from this book. There's lots of math so that is kind of daunting if that's not your strength (like me). But, from what I did read, the author does a really great job of going through the math in a way that you truly understand the mechanics behind the models - the strengths, weaknesses, and what it actually does vs. cannot do. Most of the mathematical explanations are then grounded in real world/real research examples. So even though I'm really overwhelmed by the book right now...I know when I dive back into it later I'll come out the other side with a better understanding of how to work with panel data in all kinds of settings.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-21 00:00:00 Bob Marton Excellent introduction to not only time series but also contains good information on stochastic calculus and statistical concepts. The author is adept at communicating the ideas and the mathematics clearly and logically. I'm looking forward to trying out the R programs included in the book.
