plm is a package for R which intends to make the estimation of linear panel models straightforward. plm provides functions to estimate a wide variety of models and to make (robust) inference.
For a gentle and comprehensive introduction to the package, please see the package's vignette.
The main functions to estimate models are:
plm
: panel data estimators using lm
on transformed data,
pvcm
: variable coefficients models
pgmm
: generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation for panel
data,
pggls
: estimation of general feasible generalized least squares models,
pmg
: mean groups (MG), demeaned MG and common correlated effects
(CCEMG) estimators,
pcce
: estimators for common correlated effects mean groups (CCEMG) and
pooled (CCEP) for panel data with common factors,
pldv
: panel estimators for limited dependent variables.
Next to the model estimation functions, the package offers several functions for statistical tests related to panel data/models.
Multiple functions for (robust) variance–covariance matrices are at hand as well.
The package also provides data sets to demonstrate functions and to
replicate some text book/paper results. Use
data(package="plm")
to view a list of available data sets in
the package.
