Thank you for your comments!
This is how i think of it: Fixed-effects are equivalent to n
entity-specific dummies, in effect allowing for varying intercepts across
regions.
A mixed effect (random intercept) model allows for the region-specific
intercepts to vary from one wave/panel to the other (instead of assuming
that entity-specific intercepts are constant over time).
Is this the correct intuition?? I hope it is!
Truly yours,
DD
