Revisiting the Mankiw et al. (1992) growth regressions

by Theodoros Panagiotidis

Dear Gretl users, Happy New Year to all. In a recently published paper, we revisit the famous Mankiw et al 1992 (MRW) paper by updating the data for 1960-2015, 1970-2015 and 1990-2015. We present results for the Solow, the augmented Solow model and the conditional convergence on saving rates, population growth and human capital. The paper is available here: https://reunido.uniovi.es/index.php/EBL/article/view/19256 The updated MRW dataset in gretl form is available as supplementary materials 2 on the above web page or directly here: https://reunido.uniovi.es/index.php/EBL/article/view/19256/15933 regards Theo -- Theodore Panagiotidis Department of Economics University of Macedonia Thessaloniki, Greece ResearchGate <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Theodore_Panagiotidis> Econpapers <https://econpapers.repec.org/RAS/ppa1363.htm> Twitter @TPanagiotidis <https://twitter.com/tpanagiotidis>

SVAR Restriction

by Olasehinde Timmy

Dear Prof, I am aware that the code 'SVAR_restrict(&x, "C", 1, 2, 0)' is to inform Gretl of the nature of the restriction to estimate. I also know that this has to be repeated for several restrictions like in the model. However, I consider this to be rigorous especially when a large matrix is involved. Although, I know how a matrix can be created and used with the SVAR GUI, I don't know how it can be used with the SVAR_restrict(&x, ) function. Please, I need to be enlighten if this is possible or if I have to do the imputation for each restriction. Thanks.

The spam flood (an apology).

by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti

You may have noticed a hefty influx of spam on this list a few hours ago. This is entirely my fault, sorry about it. Here's what happened: in order to protect this list (and the other one we have, gretl-devel) from spam, messages coming from non-subscribers have to be approved by hand by an admin (usually, me). We adopted this policy because you get bthe odd chance that someone is genuinely trying to ask a gretl question from a non-subscriber address, but 99% of these messages are spam. So I log in from time to time to check and delete the unwanted stuff. It so happened this morning that I clicked on the wrong button, and instead of zapping the junk, I mistakently let it through. Sorry, again! ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------

Gretl-Hansl "IDE" for Sublime editor

by Artur Tarassow

Dear all, some weeks ago I've started to switch to the sublime editor (https://www.sublimetext.com/) for writing gretl code. Even though I like the simplicity of the gretl editor and its features such as syntax highlighting and auto-itendation, it lacks some features of modern IDEs such as "goto-anything", "goto-definition", custom keybindings, fancy themes, git-implementation, snippets etc. which make life much easier when working on larger projects. Don't get me wrong, the gretl editor is great but was _never_ supposed to become a proper software-development IDE but rather has another focus which is totally fine. So I started to write the "Hansl-Gretl-Language" package for sublime which includes the following features: - 3 gretl build-systems (client mode, batch mode, and REPL mode) for executing hansl code by means of sublime (plots are also working!) - syntax-highlighting - completion of gretl commands, accessors and keywords - some snippet examples for speeding up coding The project still has the following (known) issues: - no auto-itendation (still have to figure out how this works) - issues with some corner-cases which are not syntax-highlighted (regex can become so hard!) The package can be downloaded through sublimes package control system, and can be found here: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Hansl-Gretl-Language If somebody wants to participate on this project, check out the code on my github repository: https://github.com/atecon/Hansl-Gretl-Language For those interesting in the sublime editor, check out "OdatNurd"'s brilliant tutorials on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/nurdz Enjoy the package, Artur

It may surprise you receiving this letter from me, since there was no previous correspondence between us My name is Barrister Juan Cruz Gonzalez, (Spanish Lawyer and Doctor in Law) a personal Attorney to Late. Mr. Bruce Barns, an expatriate engineer who has worked with the Mining and Smelting Company (Asturiana de Zinc S.A. Spain). I must solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. My purpose of contacting you is for you to help me to secure his funds deposited with Spanish Bank before he died, to avoid it being confiscated or declared as unclaimed by the Bank. The fund value is Ђ11,500, 000.00 (Eleven Million, Five Hundred Thousand Euros)only, this money was deposited by my late client before he passed away, he died by stroke and cancer on the 16th April 2008, and up till today his relatives remained unknown. The Bank has issued me a final notice to contact his relative’s/ the next of kin or else the account will be declared unserviceable and the fund will be diverted to the Bank treasury, So far all my efforts to get a hold of some one related to my late client has been in vain. Hence, Since this account is secret and there is no one left to claim the fund I am contacting you. I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Bank as the Next of Kin/beneficiary of my late client's fund,so that the fund will be released to you as his next of kin. All the legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next of Kin are with me. All I require is your honest cooperation and absolute confidentiality in order to guarantee success.I wish to point out that I want 20% of this money to be shared among the Charity Organizations, while the remaining 80% is shared equally between us. This transaction is entirely risk free. I will use my position as the client’s personal attorney to guarantee the successful exec The intended transaction will be processed under legitimacy,which will protect me and you from any violation of law.If you wish to achieve the goal with me, please kindly get back to me with your interest for further explanations and better understanding. Also be kind to let me know if you are not interested. Kindest Regards Bar. Juan Cruz Gonzalez.

AFAICS, from the main page one has to follow the "How to" link, then in the Registration section follow the link to "admin pages", and then at the bottom of the page called User list there are some complicated-looking bullet items, where the first one is your name "DeFeroci". There people then can see the (mangled) email address gretlwiki[at]deferoci[dot]mozmail[dot]com. The other two bullet items lead nowhere. That's a bit hidden, couldn't it be mentioned directly on the main page or so? thanks sven
