paneldat {multilevel}

Firm-Level Panel Data from Donald J. (DJ) Schepker

Description

Contains a random sample of firm-level data from 196 firms for the years 2007 to 2011 based on data from COMPUSTAT and MSCI. The data are balanced in that each firm provided five years of data. The data contains a time variable and time varying covariates for the discontinuous growth model along with within-firm predictors related to the composition of boards of directors. The discontinuity was indexed to 2009 as the first year following the great recession. In addition to illustrating variants of growth models, the panel data is useful for contrasting econometric fixed-effect models and mixed-effect models (Bliese et al., 2020).
