...and I am having particular trouble with the transition from Stata's 'xtabond' and 'ivreg' commands to the "plm" package. I am trying to replicate some of the dynamic panel data work using the UK Employment data in Arellano and Bond (1991) and available as 'EmplUK' under the 'plm' package. I have been reading "Panel Data Econometrics in R: The plm Package" by Croissant and Millo available at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plm/vignettes/plm.pdf and "How to Do xtabond2: An Introduction to 'Difference' and 'Sy...

...I can't figure it out. Below is reproducible code (assuming you have plm installed) taken from the vignette available on cran. It shows the two models I know how to estimate. Any guidance on estimating the third model would be greatly appreciated. -Mitch # Data setup library(plm) data("EmplUK", package="plm") names(EmplUK) E <- pdata.frame(EmplUK, index = c("firm", "year"), drop.index = TRUE, row.names = TRUE) # Two-way fixed effects model with constant beta m1 <- plm(wage ~ output,data=E,model="within",effect="twoways") sum...

As the usual example is on data from the Arellano and Bond paper, available in package 'plm' as > data(EmplUK) I'll use log(emp) from this dataset as 'x', for ease of reproducibility. Same data are available in Stata by 'use "http://www.stata-press.com/data/r7/abdata.dta"'. The Stata dataset is identical but for the variable names and the fact that in Stata you have to genera...

...el has been replaced with the "pooling" model. I would, however, really like to estimate the random model instead. For me, the problem is reproducable using one of the examples from the PLM Jstatsoft article "Panel Data Econometrics in R: The plm package" (pp.19-20): data("EmplUK", package="plm") zz <- pggls(log(emp)~log(wage)+log(capital),data=EmplUK, model="random") summary(zz) Which for me results in the following warning: WARNING: Warning: 'random' argument to pggls() has been renamed as 'pooling' It then proceeds with esti...

Hi list, has anyone succeeded in using pgmm() on any dataset besides Arellano/Bond's EmplUK, as shown in the vignette? Whatever I try, I eventually get a runtime error because of a singular matrix at various points in pgmm.diff() (which gets called by pgmm()). For example, when estimating a "dynamic" version of the Grunfeld data: data(Grunfeld, package="Ecdat") grun...

Dear R Experts--- Sorry for all the questions yesterday and today. I am trying to use Yves Croissant's pgmm function in the plm package with Blundell-Bond moments. I have read the Blundell-Bond paper, and want to run the simplest model first, d[i,t] = a*d[i,t-1] + fixed[i] + u[i,t] . no third conditioning variables yet. the full set of moment conditions recommended for system-GMM,
