Fourier Panel Data Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Fourier Panel Data Analysis

Fourier panel data analysis embeds trigonometric sine and cosine terms into a standard panel regression to approximate smooth, gradual structural shifts in the data-generating process. Rather than assuming a sharp break at a known date, the Fourier approach lets the data reveal the timing and shape of any structural change through a flexible trigonometric approximation, while retaining the cross-sectional and time-series structure of panel data.
