Сводка	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.	The fixed effects (FE) model is the workhorse estimator for panel data when unobserved unit-specific characteristics are suspected to correlate with the regressors. By absorbing each entity's time-invariant heterogeneity into a separate intercept, FE isolates the causal effect of within-unit variation and eliminates omitted-variable bias from time-constant confounders.
