Panel data model with fixed effects is widely used in economic and administrative applications. However, the presence of factors: measurement errors, data variability and outliers may potentially decrease the accuracy of the model prediction. In this paper, we use panel interval-valued data to represent measurement errors and data volatility of observations. Further, we propose a corresponding panel interval-valued data model with fixed effects, in which both the response and explanatory variables are interval-valued data. To reduce the impact of outliers on our model, we propose a robust estimation method based on the iterative weighted least squares technique. Later, Monte Carlo simulation and empirical application demonstrate that our model is a suitable tool for analyzing the behaviour of panel interval-valued data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
