Fourier Random Effects Model
The Fourier Random Effects Model extends the standard random effects panel estimator by incorporating trigonometric (Fourier) terms to approximate smooth, gradual structural change in time trends or intercepts. It retains the GLS efficiency advantages of the random effects estimator while allowing parameters to shift continuously over time without requiring knowledge of exact break dates.
