Panel data is a regression analysis type that uses time data and spatial data. Thus, the behavior of groups, for example, enterprises or communities, is analyzed through a time scale. Panel data allows exploring variables that cannot be observed or measured or variables that evolve over time but not across groups or communities. In this chapter, two different techniques used in panel data analysis is explored: fixed effects (FE) and random effects (RE). First, theoretical concepts of panel data are presented. Additionally, a case study example of the use of this type of regression is provided. Panel data analysis is performed with R language, and a step-by-step approach is presented.

The purpose of this study is to identify whether the wealth of Shariah-inclined investors is affected by dividend policy. This study is different from other studies because earlier studies do not differentiate between Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah compliant stocks, creating a gap for dividend signaling theory and bird-in-hand theory on Shariah-compliant financial products. This study employs panel data analysis and multiple linear regression with the most recent data representing eight (8) out of twelve (12) sectors in the Malaysian stock market. Dividend per share and retained earnings per share are used as a proxy for dividend policy while market price per share is used as a proxy for shareholders’ wealth. It was found that for Shariah-compliant stocks, both dividend per share and retained earnings per share are insignificant in affecting shareholders’ wealth. Unlike other studies on dividend policy which do not discriminate between Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah compliant stocks, this study finds that dividend policy to be irrelevant to Shariah-inclined investors.
