You might also note that the authors hint on the help page that one might want to use the formula() operation on the result of dynformula. Following that path would have gotten us to a more successful conclusion.

> grun.fe <- plm(formula = formula(a),data=EmplUK)
> grun.fe

Model Formula: log(emp) ~ lag(log(emp), 1) + lag(log(emp), 2) + lag(log(emp),
    1) + lag(log(emp), 2) + lag(log(wage), 2) + lag(log(wage),
    3) + diff(capital, 2) + diff(capital, 3)

Coefficients:
lag(log(emp), 1) lag(log(emp), 2) lag(log(wage), 2) lag(log(wage), 3) diff(capital, 2) 0.8678675 -0.1936447 -0.1632724 0.3200785 0.0037612
 diff(capital, 3)
        0.0137866

Hi David,

Thank you for the response.

I forgot to mention that I'd already tried what (I think) you propose
(adding ".form" to the end of the "lag", "log" and "diff") and I still
see the same results (posted below). Specifically, I still see no
lags, logs or diffs in my model.

Any other ideas?

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))


Perhaps you could have read the help page for the current version of the package which says the argument have been modified. Using the current arguments:

dynformula(emp~wage + capital ,log .form = list (capital = FALSE ,TRUE ),lag.form=list(emp=2,c(2,3)),diff.form=list(FALSE,capital=TRUE))

log(emp) ~ lag(log(emp), 1) + lag(log(emp), 2) + lag(log(emp),
   1) + lag(log(emp), 2) + lag(log(wage), 2) + lag(log(wage),
   3) + diff(capital, 2) + diff(capital, 3)

I see:

emp ~ wage + capital

rather than the complete model that is given in the paper:

log(emp) ~ lag(log(emp), 1) + lag(log(emp), 2) + lag(log(wage), 2) +
lag(log(wage), 3) + diff(capital, 2) + diff(capital, 3)

And indeed, when I try to run a regression using that formula, it
appears to not contain any lags or logs (output below).

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

~Owen
