Hello, I could need some advice on the following problem: I have measurements of certain similar economic variables in a fixed region over time (i.e. I have unemployment rates for different age groups in a country over the last 33 years). The data set also includes a number of explanatory variables (both economic and socio-demographic).
In the end, I want to be able to make statements like "Policy A will reduce youth unemployment, whereas Policy B affects all types of unemployment to the same extend". Can anyone suggest a suitable class of models to approach this problem? Linear regression does not seem appropriate since I'm looking at time series data. Somebody suggested to look at panel data analysis, but I'm not too sure about this either since the values of the explanatory variables would be the same for all groups. Does anyone have a better idea?
