Dear John,
Thank you very much for the solution and the suggestion. I have tried the
following;
plm1 <- plm(formula = log(gva_ind) ~ poly(x1, 2, raw=TRUE) +
heat*debt_dummy + tt, data = df, index=c("region","year"))
Ef.hd <- Effect(c("heat", "debt_dummy"), plm1)
But get the following error; - Error in UseMethod("droplevels") : no
applicable method for 'droplevels' applied to an object of class "NULL"
Is this something to do with the way the plm object? Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Milu
