Multilevel Modeling
***I will rely on the following texts:
Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia and Anders Skrondal (2008). Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using Stata (2nd Edition). Stata Press. — Chap. 2, 3, 4, and 6.
Chapters 2+3 of Rabe-Hesketh & Skrondal (2008)
Chapter 4 of Rabe-Hesketh & Skrondal (2008)
Chapter 6 of Rabe-Hesketh & Skrondal (2008)

Steenbergen, Marco and Bradford S. Jones (2002). “Modeling Multilevel Data Structures” in AJPS 46(1): 218-237.
***These are two examples of empirical analysis using multilevel models. Please read them before class. We might make use of some of the data in class.

Since the first class is early next week, I suggest you focus your attention on Achen (2005), Steenbergen & Jones (2002), and the textbook for now.
I will post photocopies of the textbook’s chapters tomorrow.
