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,

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,

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, 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 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.

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

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

Good day fellow R users: I have routinely received the following message when attempting to estimate a GMM model for a somewhat square panel (N = 20, T = 9-27, Obs = 338) using the pgmm function in the plm package: Error in function (..., deparse.level = 1) : number of rows of matrices must match (see arg 2) So far, I am not wedded to a particular GMM model but what I have used thus far is

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,

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

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

Dear List, I am using the output of a ML estimation on a random effects model with first-order autocorrelation to make a further conditional test. My model is much like this (which reproduces the method on the famous Grunfeld data, for the econometricians out there it is Table 5.2 in Baltagi): library(Ecdat) library(nlme) data(Grunfeld)

Taking the Grunfeld data, which is built-in in R, for example, (1)How can I construct a dataset (or dataframe) that consists of the data of all firms in 1951? (2)How can I calculate the average capital in each form over the period 1951-1954? What I can imagine is to categorize the data by firm, and then select the data between 1951 and 1954 for each firm, but how can I do it? Thanks, Miao

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!

Hello -- The question I have is about the gmm() function from the 'gmm' package (v. 1.4-5). The manual accompanying the package says that the gmm() function is programmed to use either of four numerical solvers -- optim, optimize, constrOptim, or nlminb -- for the minimization of the GMM objective function. I wonder whether there is a way to pass controls to a solver used while calling

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

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]]

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].

Dear R users, I have an unbalanced panel with an average of I=100 individuals and a total of T=1370 time intervals, i.e. T>>I. So far, I have been using the plm package. I wish to estimate a FE model like: res<-plm(x~c+v, data=pdata_frame, effect="twoways", model="within", na.action=na.omit) ?where c varies over i and t, and v represents an exogenous impact on x
