## Example 7.2 in Greene (2003)
fm_full <- lm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load + year + firm,
  data = USAirlines)
fm_time <- lm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load + year,
  data = USAirlines)
fm_firm <- lm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load + firm,
  data = USAirlines)
fm_no <- lm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load, data = USAirlines)

## Table 7.2
anova(fm_full, fm_time)
anova(fm_full, fm_firm)
anova(fm_full, fm_no)

## alternatively, use plm()
library("plm")
usair <- pdata.frame(USAirlines, c("firm", "year"))
fm_full2 <- plm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load,
  data = usair, model = "within", effect = "twoways")
fm_time2 <- plm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load,
  data = usair, model = "within", effect = "time")
fm_firm2 <- plm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load,
  data = usair, model = "within", effect = "individual")
fm_no2 <- plm(log(cost) ~ log(output) + I(log(output)^2) + log(price) + load,
  data = usair, model = "pooling")
pFtest(fm_full2, fm_time2)
pFtest(fm_full2, fm_firm2)
pFtest(fm_full2, fm_no2)
