I didn't see you got an answer posted to this question:
You can't modify a pdata.frame object. Your transforms turn it back to a
normal data frame and diff and lag won't work as expected.
Try:
Grunfeld.p <- pdata.frame(Grunfeld,c("firm","year"))
tmp <- transform(Grunfeld.p, d.value = diff(Grunfeld.p$value,1))
tmp <- cbind(tmp, l.value = lag(Grunfeld.p$value,1))
...
When everything is in shape, convert it back to a pdata.frame for further
analysis:
Grunfeld.p <- pdata.frame(tmp,c("firm","year"))
