Fixed Effects Explained Simply: The Secret to Causal Inference with Panel Data (Econometrics)

Welcome to the ultimate deep dive into Fixed Effects (FE) Regression, the gold standard for causal inference in non-experimental data. If you've struggled with Omitted Variable Bias or wondered how researchers isolate true effects (like "Does coffee boost productivity?"), this video is for you. We break down the powerful intuition of "Comparing You to Yourself" using Longitudinal Data or Panel Data, showing how Fixed Effects controls for unobserved heterogeneity—all the permanent, invisible traits that bias standard cross-sectional studies. Learn about the alpha_i (the "Fixed Effect"), the "Within-Transformation" (or "De-meaning"), and see a clear, real-world example of how it works. Master the math behind Y_it = Beta*X_it + Alpha_i + Epsilon_it without being intimidated. Discover the "kryptonite" of FE—its limitation on time-invariant variables—and solidify your understanding of why Fixed Effects is a crucial tool in modern Econometrics.
