Is it possible to include one time-invariant variable in a two-way fixed effects model in plm?
Model set up:
`m3 <- plm(habi5 ~ habi1 + habi3 + econ1 + gov1 + gov2 + gov3 + gov4 + soci1 + soci3 + soci4,
data = merge3,
index=c("Name", "Year"),
model="within",
effect = "twoways")`
"habi1" is a time-invariant variable and its estimate does not show up the summary
> summary(m3)
Twoways effects Within Model
Call:
plm(formula = habi5 ~ habi1 + habi3 + econ1 + gov1 + gov2 + gov3 +
gov4 + soci1 + soci3 + soci4, data = merge3, effect = "twoways",
model = "within", index = c("Name", "Year"))

Is there a way to estimate the effect of this variable in in my current model specification using plm?
