Dear All,

I'm looking to perform an ANOVA between two nested panel fixed effects models. 
I tried with anova, as well as with waldtest. anova tells me there is no method 
available for plm objects, while waldtest tells me my models are not nested. I 
think they are instead. The difference between the two models is that in the 
second I let the regression coefficients of a given variable variate according 
to a factor.

MODEL 1
depFE.plm = plm(urate ~ l1_urate + month, model = "within", data = 
unempl_data1, effect = "individual")

MODEL 2
depLDFE.plm = plm(urate ~ factor(ID):l1_urate + month, model = "within", data = 
unempl_data1, effect = "individual")

anova
> anova(depFE.plm, depLDFE.plm)
Errore in UseMethod("anova") : 
  no applicable method for 'anova' applied to an object of class "c('plm', 
'panelmodel')"

waldtest
> waldtest(depFE.plm, depLDFE.plm)
Errore in modelCompare(objects[[i - 1]], objects[[i]], vfun = vcov.) : 
  models are not nested

Did anyone code a plm method for anova?
OR
Does anyone know why according to waldtest my models are not nested?

Thanks
Roberto
