In panel data analysis we call that a time effect. If you include only dummy variables for individual districts then they are called individual effects (in your case district effects). So, including either individual effects or time effect in the panel data is called one way fixed effects whereas including both is called two way fixed effects.
Is it OK to include trend variable in balanced panel data?
Year variable is repetitive as expected and for 2005-2011. I am thinking about the following; up to year 2011 and it gives me t variable from 1 to 7, for 180 different panels in the data. My question: is it OK to include trend variable as I described above or should I directly throw year variable into regression?
Do you expect a curvilnear trend in panel data?
