The aim of the conference is to bring together economists, econometricians, statisticians and social scientists using panel data for their applied and/or theoretical research. 

We welcome submissions related to all aspects of panel data, including model specification and testing, partial identification, non-parametric estimation, dynamic models, non-linear models, quantile regression, factor structures, models for spatial interactions and networks, as well as applications to climate change and environment, development, health, labor, productivity, inequality and poverty, empirical IO, forecasting, banking and finance, applied macroeconomics, among others.

The conference provides an active forum for researchers to discuss their findings from theoretical or empirical viewpoints, seek feedback, exchange ideas for future research and promote active collaboration in all areas of panel data analysis. The International Panel Data Conference started in 1977.
