xtserial wage experience union Random effects assumes the unobserved panel effects are uncorrelated with your regressors. This is a strong assumption but allows inclusion of time-invariant variables.

This article originally appeared as a contributed guide for researchers using Stata for panel data analysis. For updates and advanced topics like spatial panel models or panel VAR, stay tuned for Part 2.
