Dear Jose,
I can't see why it shouldn't, as long as the quarterly index has a
natural and recognizable ordering: this could be the only issue. Do not expect
'plm' to cope with things like "mar-09, apr-09, ...", at least
not out of the box (maybe there is room for improvement here). All the rest
applies to quarterly and annual data as well.
Please let me know if there are any problems, better if attaching a reproducible
example (you're right, we could definitely use a quarterly example!).
Best,
Giovanni

Dear all,
Does anyone know if the PLM package (to run Panel Data Analysis) accepts
quarterly data?
The package vignette and documentation only use annual data -and the only time
index available seems to work for years.
Jos?
