Dear all- I am have trouble in using the model="ht" option in function plm from the plm library. I am using Package: plm Version: 1.1-1; R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22) running on a FC-8 linux machine. Here is what I am trying to do: ##---------------------------------------------------------------------------- R> ###Prob 6 Chapter 3 Use R! Applied Econometrics wit...

Hello, I am trying to use the plm package for panel econometrics. I am just trying to get started and load my data. It seems from most of the sample documentation that I need to use the pdata.frame function to get my data loaded. However, even after installing the "plm" package, my R installation cannot find the function....

Hi List I'm having difficulty understanding how plm should work with dynamic formulas. See the commands and output below on a standard data set. Notice that the first summary(plm(...)) call returns the same result as the second (it shouldn't if it actually uses the lagged variable requested). The third call results in error (trying to use diff...

Dear all, I am trying to export my fixed effect results to Latex. I am using the plm package with the summary function. However, it does not look like apsrtable, stargazer, or any other package can accompany using the plm package. I am interested in a classic table with the coefficient in one row followed by the standard error in paranthesis in the next row and stars by the coeff...

Dear "plm"-Package insiders, [I posted the following observation is April already but unfortunately I am not aware of any answers. With the hope that someone found an answer in the mean time, I ask again:] I realized the following difficulty with the summary.plm function (demonstrated with the exa...

...t;drugsXX<-read.csv(file="C:\\Folder\\vX.X\\Drugs\\drugsXX_panel.csv", head=TRUE, sep=",") Verified it read in correctly and had a good data.frame: >dim(drugsXX) [1] 1494 5 >drugs XX produce expected data with correct column names The issue is, when I go to run the plm using: >fixed <- plm (h ~ o + m + a, data=drugsXX, index=c("h","year"), model="within") I get this error: Error in names(y) <- namesy : 'names' attribute [996] must be the same length as the vector [0] I know the data recognizes that I have 5 col...

Hello, I am using {plm} to estimate panel models. I want to estimate a model that includes fixed effects for time and individual, but has a random individual effect for the coefficient on the independent variable. That is, I would like to estimate the model: Y_it = a_i + a_t + B_i * X_it + e_it Where i denotes individua...

dear readers---I struggled with how to do nice fixed-effects regressions in large economic samples for a while. Eventually, I realized that nlme is not really what I needed (too complex), and all I really wanted is the plm package. so, I thought I would share a quick example. ################ sample code to show fixed-effects models? in R # create a sample panel data set with firms and years set.seed(0) fm= as.factor( c(rep("A", 5),? rep("B", 5),? rep("C", 5),? rep("D", 5)...

Hello, I am switching to R from Stata 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 a...

Dear All, I'm looking to perform an ANOVA between two nested panel fixed effects models. I tried with anova, as well as with waldtest. anova tells me there is no method available for plm objects, while waldtest tells me my models are not nested. I think they are instead. The difference between the two models is that in the second I let the regression coefficients of a given variable variate according to a factor. MODEL 1 depFE.plm = plm(urate ~ l1_urate + month, model = "with...

When using the PLM package (version 1.2-8), I encounter the probem that calling the FGLS estimator evokes strange behavior, when choosing the "random" effects model. After calling the PGGLS function to estimate FGLS, PLM gives me a warning, stating that the "random" model has been replaced with th...

Hi all, I have a problem in installing and using the plm package using R 2.2.0 on windows xp. I installed it from a .zip file downloaded from the CRAN. Apparently everything is ok: > utils:::menuInstallLocal() package 'plm' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked updating HTML package descriptions However, when I try to load it: >...

Hello. Just a quick follow-up, for other 'plm' users on the list: - the problem turned out to be logs of zero values hidden in the big dataset - trying log(xx) would not reveal the problem, because log(0)=-Inf is a valid result in log() while it is an invalid input to plm() --> it is always advisable to try lm(yourformula, yourdata) as...

Hi all, I a semi-beginner with R and I am working with the plm package to examine a longitudinal dataset. Each individual in this dataset has a longitudinal weight for the probability that he or she remains in the sample. Unfortunately, I have not found an argument to use weights in the plm function? I tried ?weights=? like in standard lm or in nlme or lm4 b...

Dear Kailas Gokhale, The negative individual variance is not a problem with your code or plm. It a property of your data. Please check the posts of Giovanni Millo on this topic: [R] R: plm random effect: the estimated variance of the individual effect is negative Millo Giovanni Giovanni_Millo at Generali.com Sat Jan 5 10:10:01 CET 2013 You can find the posts in the archive by rseek.or...

Dear R users I get different F-statistic results for a "within" model, when using "time" or "twoways" effects in plm() [1] and when manually specifying the time control dummies [2].

Hi,R 2.15.2 plm() function on Windows 7 when i perform a plm regression, i can't manage to obtain the intercept, but I need it.it gives me just the beta coefficient. my formula: fixed <- plm(deltaS ~ L1.deltaS + L2.deltaS, data=Mody_R, index=c("country_id", "date"), model="within&qu...

Hello list, I'm following the paper (http://www.jstatsoft.org/v27/i02/paper) on how to use "plm" to run panel regressions, and am having trouble with what I believe should be something very basic. When I run the command (p.9 in the paper): R> dynformula(emp~wage+capital,log=list(capital=FALSE,TRUE),lag=list(emp=2,c(2,3)),diff=list(FALSE,capital=TRUE)) I see: emp ~ wage + capital...

Hi all I want to use plm function on splitted dataset but facing problems while doing it. I did the same for lm function it worked fine but now my problem forces me to use lags into it while in a single set I have multiple type of data, which I believe can only be done with panel data. The code I am using is A = split(m...
