I uploaded my 2012 Working Paper The fixed effects approach as an alternative to multilevel analysis for cross-national analyses, which I wrote as PhD student in the Research Training Group SOCLIFE at University of Cologne, to SocArXiv, as the SOCLIFE Working Paper Series is no longer avaiable. The paper is intended to provide guidance at a beginner's level to those doing multilevel analyses with cross-national survey data. Writing it down also helped me to bring together the two "worlds" of panel data analysis -which I knew from my previous SOEP analyses- and multilevel analysis -which I learned at SOCLIFE.January 2021:
