Resum	Panel-based observational quantitative research follows the same individuals, organizations, or units across two or more time points without experimentally manipulating any condition. By combining the within-unit depth of longitudinal tracking with the numerical precision of quantitative measurement, it enables researchers to study change over time, detect lagged effects, and control for stable unobserved characteristics — all while maintaining the ethical simplicity of pure observation.	Difference-in-Differences is a causal-inference method that estimates the effect of an intervention by comparing how a treatment group and a control group change over time. Made famous by Card and Krueger's 1994 minimum-wage study and developed in Angrist and Pischke's Mostly Harmless Econometrics, it isolates the treatment effect as the difference between the two groups' before-after changes.
