Hi

I tried plm and it seems that na.exclude does not work. Try to connect 
maintainer directly.

The only workaround I can think about is to give NAs to proper places in 
residual vector. In your example it is simple

nas<-lapply(data, function(x) which(is.na(x)))$inv2
fit <- plm(value~inv2+capital, data = data,na.action=na.exclude 
,index=c("firm","year"))
res<-resid(fit)
xyplot(c(res[1:100], rep(NA, length(nas)), res[101:180]) ~ firm, data=data)

another option would be to use
?complete.cases

to find rows without NAs and select only those without missing values.

However in real situations this can be tricky.

Regards
Petr
