Panel data figure prominently in research on the many aspects of the life course. The longitudinal structure of panel data, with the properties of many units (individuals, families, etc.) measured on several occasions spread over time, is ideal for observational studies of life course processes. Panel data have proven useful for research on subjects as fundamental as the causes and consequences of marital stability and dissolution (Biblarz & Raftery 1993; Thornton, Axinn, & Teachman, 1995), the social psychological development and well-being of children and adults (Booth & Amato, 1991; Chase-Lansdale, Cherlin & Kiernan, 1995; Moen, Robison, & Dempster-McClain, 1995; Nagin & Tremblay, 1999), and the evolution of conventional (Diprete & McManus, 1996) and deviant careers (Land & Nagin, 1996; Sampson & Laub, 1992), as well as for research on the issues surrounding the timing of all these processes and related transitions. There is now widespread agreement that panel data and the analytical advances they make possible are essential for rigorously addressing the types of questions that drive and are central to many life course studies. |
