A step-by-step explanation of how to fit a linear model. Here we cover GLMs (Generalized Linear Models) but focus on the Poisson link with a large number of fixed effects and work with datasets that we have to download and join to produce a final dataset to explore the effects of distance, contiguity and colonial history on exports.

You can read more about the topics covered in:

  1. Linear Models with R (https://julianfaraway.github.io/faraway/LMR/)
  2. R for Data Science (https://r4ds.had.co.nz/relational-data.html#mutating-joins) for the joins part
  3. Fixest documentation (https://lrberge.github.io/fixest/) to explore more about fepois()
