Sažetak	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.	Panel data analysis models data that track multiple units — countries, firms, individuals — over time, enabling researchers to control for unobserved unit-level heterogeneity that would otherwise bias cross-sectional or time-series estimates. The two core specifications are fixed effects and random effects, selected via the Hausman test.
