I hit a problem where I want to extract all individual coefficient of a particular variable in a pooled regression.

My data look like this and I regress Y on X.

Observation name date Y  X
1           A    1    Y1 X1
2           A    2    Y2 X2
3           B    1    Y3 X3
4           B    2    Y4 X4

Using the plm package and summary, R only gives me one coefficient of X. However, I want to have coefficient of X variable in each individual regression. Can anyone help me with this?

To clarify, what I want is all the beta associated with the X_n,1 in the below picture. Sorry for the confusion. Pictures for clarification

You can use tidy and augment from the broom package to take the results from plm and put them into a data frame.

library(plm)
library(broom)

data("Grunfeld", package = "plm")

p <- plm(inv ~ value + capital, data = Grunfeld, model = "pooling")

df <- tidy(p)

#          term    estimate  std.error statistic      p.value
# 1 (Intercept) -42.7143694 9.51167603 -4.490730 1.207357e-05
# 2       value   0.1155622 0.00583571 19.802589 9.542703e-49
# 3     capital   0.2306785 0.02547580  9.054808 1.347370e-16

df$estimate

# [1] -42.7143694   0.1155622   0.2306785

augment(p)

#         inv   value capital     .fitted      .resid
# 1    317.60 3078.50    2.80  313.689629    3.910371

# 3    410.60 5387.10  156.90  616.023978 -205.423978
# 4    257.70 2792.20  209.20  328.216223  -70.516223
# 5    330.80 4313.20  203.40  502.648328 -171.848328
# 6    461.20 4643.90  207.20  541.741311  -80.541311
# 7    512.00 4551.20  255.20  542.101267  -30.101267

  • Hi. First, thanks for your reply but this is not what I want. I can get this result. What I want is each estimated coefficient of the variable "value". For example, first estimated coefficient of capital, second estimated coefficient of the capital and so one – Xinrong Lin Sep 15 '17 at 05:40
  • I appreciate your helps first. However, this will just give the initial value of my data set rather than the estimated beta? – Xinrong Lin Sep 15 '17 at 05:55
  • Your question is unclear, perhaps you should provide a [reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) so that I can be of further help. – Kevin Arseneau Sep 15 '17 at 05:59

If you want different coefficients for the entities (split by name in your example), you can use the function pvcm() from the package plm to fit a OLS model per individual or do it by hand, see code example below.

Building upon the example from the help page (?pvcm):

library(plm)
data("Produc", package = "plm")

form <- log(gsp) ~ log(pcap) + log(pc) + log(emp) + unemp

pvcm(form, data = Produc, model = "within") # individual coefficients
## Coefficients:
##                (Intercept)  log(pcap)    log(pc)  log(emp)       unemp
## ALABAMA            8.49604 -1.4426440  0.2795010  1.835250  0.00735450
## ARIZONA            4.66528 -0.1627084 -0.0052207  1.075828 -0.00365798
## ARKANSAS           3.24565 -0.5056503  0.3212473  1.234017  0.00149221
## CALIFORNIA         0.27935  0.2639377  0.2484033  0.699135 -0.01074510
## [...]

###### same using OLS on splitted data for first entity (ALABAMA):
l <- split(Produc, Produc$state)
plm(form, data = l[[1]], model = "pooling")
## Coefficients:
## (Intercept)   log(pcap)     log(pc)    log(emp)       unemp 
##   8.4960384  -1.4426440   0.2795010   1.8352498   0.0073545
