✦ Synopsis
Researchers across the social sciences who are interested in change and development can now draw on a rich array of longitudinal resources to help them answer their questions. The combination of theory, data and modern methods of statistical analysis can be used to describe, to predict and to generate causal explanations. This lecture explores these uses of longitudinal data with illustrations from the recent and more distant past.

Explanations are important to us in many contexts: in science, mathematics, philosophy, and also in everyday and juridical contexts. But what is an explanation? In the philosophical study of explanation, there is long-standing, influential tradition that links explanation intimately to causation: we
