Questions

Question 1 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the main difference between panel data analysis and cross-sectional analysis?

  1. Panel data analysis uses data from a single point in time, while cross-sectional analysis uses data from multiple points in time.
  2. Panel data analysis uses data from multiple individuals, while cross-sectional analysis uses data from a single individual.
  3. Panel data analysis uses data from a single variable, while cross-sectional analysis uses data from multiple variables.
  4. Panel data analysis uses data from a single country, while cross-sectional analysis uses data from multiple countries.
