Hi

Thanks for providing data. I did not see any response and frankly speaking I do not use data.table so I am not sure what do you mean by lagging t1.

I would start with ordering data.
ooo<-order(data$id, data$year)
data <- data[ooo,]

Then you can split data according to id.

datas<-split(data[,c(1,3)], data$id)

dput(head(datas))
structure(list(`28954` = structure(list(year = c(2005, 2006,
2007, 2008), t1 = c(-1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513,
-1.81807494163513)), .Names = c("year", "t1"), row.names = c(58L,
45L, 35L, 46L), class = "data.frame"), `28955` = structure(list(
    year = c(2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), t1 = c(-1.81807494163513,
    -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513)), .Names = c("year",
"t1"), row.names = c(59L, 70L, 69L, 72L), class = "data.frame"),
    `28956` = structure(list(year = c(2005, 2006, 2007, 2008),
        t1 = c(-1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513,
        -1.81807494163513)), .Names = c("year", "t1"), row.names = c(53L,
    66L, 74L, 51L), class = "data.frame"), `28957` = structure(list(
        year = c(2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), t1 = c(-1.81807494163513,
        -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513
        )), .Names = c("year", "t1"), row.names = c(71L, 64L,
    54L, 24L), class = "data.frame"), `28958` = structure(list(
        year = c(2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), t1 = c(-1.81807494163513,
        -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513
        )), .Names = c("year", "t1"), row.names = c(34L, 27L,
    1L, 31L), class = "data.frame"), `28959` = structure(list(
        year = c(2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), t1 = c(-1.81807494163513,
        -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513, -1.81807494163513
        )), .Names = c("year", "t1"), row.names = c(17L, 18L,
    30L, 44L), class = "data.frame")), .Names = c("28954", "28955",
"28956", "28957", "28958", "28959"))

But now I am lost what result you expect. Can you explain it on this smaller data set?

Cheers
