The dependent variable is binary indicator 0 or 1 to capture behavior and l
have data available for the five waves. The list of my independent variables
(regressors) include a dummy (policy effect) that takes the value of one
post policy period
Yit = dit(policy effect) + Zit + residual       t = 1,.. 5 waves or time
periods, i= cross sectional unit in this case individuals

Yit is a binary indicator that represents behavior, for example do u own a
car? yes =1 or 0 otherwise, do you drink alcohol? yes =1 and 0 otherwise

dit is a dummy that captures the policy effect, it takes the value of zero
pre policy  & 1 post policy.

Zit is other explanatory variables
