Dear Guylaine, this has nothing to do with either 'plm' or logs. The error message says it all: "fin d'entrée inattendu(e)". Somehow, you're inputting '+' twice in the R console, so the formula is syntactically invalid. Moreover, you assign the forula through '<' instead of '<-' so that this becomes a logical operation instead of an assignment.
May I suggest you break up the task to avoid confusion: first make a formula, like 'fm <- y ~ x1 + x2', check that it be a valid 'formula' object, then use it in 'plm(fm, data=mydata)' etc.. It is also best to use spacings, indentation, etc. to avoid messing things up.
