## Using plm can make things easier, but avoid attaching or 'with' calls:
pwlddev <- plm::pdata.frame(wlddev, index = c("country","year"))
head(D(pwlddev, 0:1, 1, 9:10))                          # Again differences of LIFEEX and PCGDP

head(D(PCGDP))                                          # Differencing the panel series
summary(lm(D1.PCGDP ~.,                                 # Running the dynamic model again ->
           data = L(D(pwlddev,0:1,1,9:10),0:1,          # code becomes a bit simpler
                    keep.ids = FALSE)[-1]))
# One could be tempted to also do something like this, but THIS DOES NOT WORK!!:
# -> a pseries is only created when subsetting the pdata.frame using $ or [[
summary(lm(D(PCGDP) ~ L(D(PCGDP,0:1)) + L(D(LIFEEX,0:1),0:1), pwlddev))
# To make it work, one needs to create pseries
LIFEEX <- pwlddev$LIFEEX
summary(lm(D(PCGDP) ~ L(D(PCGDP,0:1)) + L(D(LIFEEX,0:1),0:1))) # THIS WORKS !
## Using dplyr:
library(dplyr)
wlddev %>% group_by(country) %>%
             select(PCGDP,LIFEEX) %>% fdiff(0:1,1:2)       # Adding a first and second difference
wlddev %>% group_by(country) %>%
             select(year,PCGDP,LIFEEX) %>% D(0:1,1:2,year) # Also using t (safer)
wlddev %>% group_by(country) %>%                            # Dropping id's
             select(year,PCGDP,LIFEEX) %>% D(0:1,1:2,year, keep.ids = FALSE)
# }
