similar to: Error using PGMM function in the PLM package

dear giovanni--- thanks for answering on r-help to me as well as privately. I very much appreciate your responding. I read the plm vignette. I don't have the book, so I can't consult it. :-(. I am going to post this message now (rather than just email it privately), because other amateurs may have similar questions in the future, and find this message and your answers via google.

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,

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 Sir or Madam: I am Shaojuan Liao, the 3rd year Ph.D. student from Econ Department, Virginia Tech. I don't know whether it is appropriate to ask you questions on the command pgmm. But I don't know how to deal with the case where all X are exogenous and all T time periods' X can be used as the instrument. Problem 1: I know when X are predetermined, such as Z=[y1,X1,X2, 0,

Hello, I've been trying to fit Arrellano-Bond model with pgmm but I am getting very strange errors. I've looked around and found no reference to them. I've specified the model in dozens of different ways, and each seems to give me a new kind of error. This leads me to believe this has to do with the way the data is specified, but I can't see anything thats wrong with. My

Dear Ivo, dear list, (see: Message: 70 Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:39:19 +0000 From: ivowel at gmail.com Subject: [R] pgmm (Blundell-Bond) sample needed) I think I finally figured out how to replicate your supersimple GMM example with pgmm() so as to get the very same results as Stata. Having no other regressors in the formula initially drove me crazy. This was a case where simpler models are

Hello, although I searched for a solution related to my problem I didn?t find one, yet. My skills in R aren?t very large, however. For my Diploma thesis I need to run a GMM estimation on a dynamic panel model using the "pgmm" - function in the plm-Package. The model I want to estimate is: "Y(t) = Y(t-1) + X1(t) + X2(t) + X3(t)" . There are no "normal" instruments

Dear R-Users, I am using pgmm in the plm package to estimate a dynamic models with panel data. Besides the lagged dependent variable, I also have some other endogenous variables. Does the pgmm have an argument that allows me to specify these endogenous variables and their instruments? I didn't find this argument in the description and online. Thank you very much for your help!

Dear Sir, I am using the package pgmm you build in panel regression. However, I found that when T is 10, N=30, the error would show as following: system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number But the similar code works well on Stata, so I wonder how I can optimize the algorithm, for example , the inverse matrix optimization ? And I have checked my data as well, no

Hi, I'm a pgmm (plm) user and would like to know if a orthogonal transformation is available, as in Stata xtabond2. Can someone help me? Thanks! Kinds regards, Eva [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi! I am looking for some insight with this situation: what to do or how to analyze when our models fitted with pgmm never pass Sargant test? With my current dataset, I've been fitting different models and with all possible combinations of lagged instruments, with all possible lag order combinations, but no model passes Sargan test. I can not give up gmm here as I have autocorrelation and

Dear Limin, might be just about anything. Could you please provide a reproducible example?

Dear, I built the generalized method of moments model to estimate the sales rank in the bookstore using plm package in R. The equation is: data1.gmm <- pgmm(dynformula(lnsales_rank ~ ln_price + avg_ham_rate + avg_spam_rate + num_of_ham+ num_of_spam + ship_code2 +ship_code3 +ship_code4+ ship_code5+ ship_code6 + ship_ code7, lag = list(0, 0, 0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0), log =FALSE), data=data,

Hi, I want to estimate a dynamic paneldata model with the following code, but unfortenately I received the error message below. form<-PB~Activity+Solvency+Cap_Int

Dear Hao-pang, it is impossible to really tell the problem without a reproducible example. Just guessing: this looks like you have too many regressors. In GMM, lags of variables are used as instruments, so you might have more regressors than observations. Try reducing the 'lag' argument (which, by default, uses all lags available). Of course, the first observation to make would be that

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

Hi there! Today I tried to estimate models using both plm and pgmm functions, with an interaction between X1 and lag(X2, 1). And I notice two issues. Let "Y=b_1 * X_1 + b_2 * X_2 + b_3 * X_1 * x_2 + e" be our model. 1) When using plm, I got different results when I coded the interaction term with I(X1 * lag(X2, 1)) and when I just saved this multiplication X1 * lag(X2, 1) in a

Hello, So I am afraid I am having a recurring problem that I just can't figure out. I am using the plm package to conduct a panel analysis - although I am not sure if the problem is arising as a result of the plm package or something more general. I am trying to run a fixed effects model with effects over time and individual. The model has various lags, and the problem is that these lags do

Hi! I am quite a new user of R. I wanted to ask if there was some package for dynamic panel analysis (with Arneallo-Bond Method) like stata. PLM is for panel analysis but not for dynamic. Best regards, Tanveer

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'ed variable in regression) Other info:
