Hi people!

I am writing up my proposal for my MA dissertation and essentially what I am doing is tracking the changes in labour market activation policies in various European countries over the past 20 years, trying to determining which changes in what countries were the most effective in reducing rates of long term unemployment.

I know this isn't a longitudinal analysis because it isn't the same people being followed throughout the twenty years...so would this mean it's a long-term cross sectional analysis??

I'm sure it's obvious but brain dead has settled in.
