| Abstract: | We demonstrate that fixed- and random-effects models for pooled cross-sectional and time series data, and latent growth curve
models for panel data are special cases of a more general model. We compare the estimates obtained from each type of model
for a data set consisting of homicide rates and a vector of explanatory variables for 400 US counties over a 15-year period.
Most, but not all, estimates are similar in the two models. We identify circumstances under which one approach may be advantageous
to the other.
