R help - Feb 2016 - Panel Data Help

Hi,

I'm currently working on an econometrics project on banking and looking to
merge a dataframe of bank specific data with dataframes of macro variables.
I am then going to transform the data set into a plm dataframe using the plm
package. The bank specific observations are indexed across time while the
macro ones are indexed only across time. Is there a way to merge the two so
I can use both in my panel regression?

Best,
Dan

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the answer to your question is
"Yes".

However,  I cannot decipher specifics from your description.  If you want a more
useful answer you need to follow the advice in the Posting Guide mentioned in
the footer  (including posting in plain text rather than HTML, and providing
some sample data). You will also benefit from reading [1], with particular
attention to using the dput function.
