Hello. Correct, IMHO: Achim's suggestion is the best way to get in-sample fitted values, w.r.t. e.g. direct calculation as yhat=X%*%coef, as it implicitly takes care of fixed effects etc.. A method for out-of-sample use is not implemented yet. It will eventually be, but there is no "schedule" for now. There are peculiar design issues: one for all, double dimensionality (prediction on the N dimension is meaningless for FE models etc. etc.).

In many cases, you can compute them fairly easily from the residuals via y - residuals(...) And if the model frame is retained you find y in the $model element. Hence, a dirty hack that should work is fitted.panelmodel <- function(object, ...) object$model[[1]] - object$residuals However, beware of models where the number of observations might be reduced due to lags and differencing. And of course this covers just in-sample predictions. The out-of-sample case would have to be done by hand. Yves and Giovanni (cc) might be able to provide more/better/correct information...
