Re: st: analysing experimental panel data

["Justina Fischer" <JAVFischer@gmx.de>]

Hi Matthew

too me your set-up looks like (experiment - panel)

experimental rounds = time
subject = ID
quota = group variable, time invariant 
treatment = event happening to some IDs at a specific round

then you can compare individual behavior for same time point (rounds), but also different treatments; in some cases this might boil down to a round-specific cross-sectional analysis
