This paper presents a general panel model that includes the standard Fixed Effects Model (FEM) and Random Effects Model (REM) as special cases. The general model permits time-varying and time-invariant observed or latent variables to have effects that differ by wave of data. It also allows time-invariant observed variables in fixed effects models and lagged endogenous variables. In addition,...
