Core hypotheses:
Null results were not “foregone conclusion”?
What is a unit fixed effect?
What are they used for?
Normal model
\[ Y_it = \alpha + \beta_1 X_{it} + \epsilon_{it} \] Unit fixed Effects model
\[ Y_it = \gamma_i + \beta_1 X_{it} + \epsilon_{it} \]
Example: Unit FEs with one binary predictor
Unit fixed Effects model
\[ Y_it = \gamma_i + \beta_1 X_{it} + \epsilon_{it} \]
**How does the interpretation of \(\beta_1\) change?
