Why isn't my plm model defaulting automatically to plm::lag?

I've found that sometimes my plm regressions in R (package plm) don't default automatically to the use of plm::lag, what has caused me a lot of trouble. I've searched for the reasons for this in other posts, but I haven't found anything. Does anyone know how to correct this without having to write plm::lag in every regression?

Just a simple example in code:

library(plm)

model <- plm (GDP ~ plm::lag(expenses), data=dd, effect='twoways',...)

Do you have dplyr loaded? It clobbers lag with its own incompatible lag. Make sure dplyr is NOT loaded. If you need to load dplyr and are using R 3.6 or later load it like this: library(dplyr, exclude = c("lag", "filter")) – G. Grothendieck May 20 '20 at 16:46
Yes, I was! Thank you very much, it was very helpful! – francescobfc May 20 '20 at 16:47
Will this exclude the filter function also? – francescobfc May 20 '20 at 16:49

Yes. It also clobbers filter. Use dplyr::lag and dplyr::filter if you need to use them in dplyr pipelines. – G. Grothendieck May 20 '20 at 16:51
