Method evidence record
Panel-based Confirmatory Research
Panel-based confirmatory research combines the longitudinal power of panel data — repeated observations of the same units over time — with a pre-specified, hypothesis-driven analytic framework. Instead of exploring patterns post-hoc, the researcher commits to theoretical propositions before data collection and uses the panel structure to test causal or directional claims while controlling for unobserved time-invariant confounders. It is widely used in economics, sociology, epidemiology, and organizational research.
