Résumé	The Fourier fixed effects model extends standard panel fixed effects regression by augmenting the specification with low-frequency Fourier (trigonometric) terms. These sine and cosine components approximate unknown, smooth structural shifts in the time trend without requiring the researcher to pre-specify break dates, combining within-unit identification with flexible trend modelling.	The structural break fixed effects model extends the standard within-group (FE) panel estimator by allowing the slope coefficients to shift at one or more detected break dates. Each unit's unobserved time-invariant heterogeneity is still removed by demeaning, but separate coefficient regimes are estimated for each sub-period, capturing policy shifts, crises, or technological transitions that would otherwise bias a single-regime FE estimate.
