PLM regression with log variables returning non-finite values error

[sophie06]

I am using plm package with panel data and I am trying to estimate a regression with a log variable as a control variable. However, I get the following error :

Error in model.matrix.pdata.frame(data, rhs = 1, model = model, effect = effect, :
model matrix or response contains non-finite values (NA/NaN/Inf/-Inf)

The regression I'm trying to run is the following one :
plm(hrswork ~ treated + age + loghrs, data = data, model = "within",effect = "twoways") with loghrs being the log variable that is problematic.

Does anyone have a code to solve this issue ?
Thank you so much !

We probably need to see abit more code and some sample data. However, as a stupid suggestion, is there any chance that when you take the log of the variable one datum may be being evaluated as zero?

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…
