Extract

In this chapter we introduce developing and interpreting multilevel models. We first define multilevel models and explore how this approach is an improvement on disaggregation and aggregation of data across multiple levels. We then work through four different multilevel models. We provide examples of what kinds of questions can be answered by each model and how to interpret the statistical output. We then explore some additional issues in fitting multilevel models in Stata and consider additional applications of multilevel models.
