Re: [Gretl-devel] Conference 2011
Hi Lee,
don't know whether you got any responses off-list, but personally I
think it sounds quite interesting. From the title of your post you're
talking about next year, right?
With respect to the focus I don't think it's bad at all if R (and
others) play a role such that it won't be exclusively for gretl. Maybe
one topic related to open-source software could be the issue of
replicating (or replicatability of) econometric research. (In the spirit
of the section in the Journal of Applied econometrics.)
cheers,
sven

Hi All,
I've been following the discussion about the next gretl conference. As
I promised in Bilbao, I approached the editors of Advances in
Econometrics about doing a gretl edition with an accompanying
conference. The AIE conferences
(http://www.bus.lsu.edu/hill/aie/aie_main.htm) are normally held in
Baton Rouge, usually in the fall (early November). I've been to a
couple of these and they are quite nice (though, it would be impossible
to top the wonderful hospitality of our hosts in Bilbao!).
I don't have a firm commitment yet, but the response I got from Carter
Hill was very favorable. I pitched it as a volume on open source
econometrics software (of which gretl is the leader, right?). Guest
editors (me? and any volunteers) can influence the focus quite a bit.
This would open it up a bit to contributions from R users perhaps, but
it will help fill up the volume. Usually there are about 15 or so
submissions for a volume. Anyway, if there is interest in pursuing this
venue or if any of you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know and
I'll see what I can do.
Also, I'll be working on a new version of my gretl book later this year
so any comments or suggestions would be welcome.
Cheers,
Lee
