Hello everybody,
I have a problem with the the function PVCM in the plm package:
I have an unbalanced panel with over 200 companies and 1 to 14 years for
each company. I already excluded all NAs:
> dataset<-na.omit(dataset)
Now I'm trying to fit a variable coefficients model:
> model_vc <- pvcm(v1 ~ lag(v2,1), model="within", data=dataset)
This results in the following error message: "Fehler in lm.fit(x, y, offset
= offset, singular.ok = singular.ok, ...) : 0 (non-NA) cases"
I can't figure out what's wrong... Can somebody help me, please?
Thanks so much!
Johannes
PS: Here's additional information on my dataset:
> str(dataset)
Classes ?plm.dim? and 'data.frame': 1531 obs. of 4 variables:
