Baltagi’s research focuses on econometrics, particularly panel data, spatial econometrics, health econometrics, and theoretical econometrics. His work has significantly advanced methodologies in fixed and random effects models, spatial dependence, and network effects in panel data. He is renowned for his authoritative textbooks, including Econometric Analysis of Panel Data and Econometrics, which are standard references in graduate econometrics courses worldwide.
His recent publications (2021–2025) demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating spatial and network structures into panel data models, with applications in health, labor, and international trade. He frequently publishes in top journals such as Journal of Econometrics, Econometric Reviews, and Economics Letters, emphasizing robust estimation, specification testing, and dynamic modeling.
