Hi there,

This is a book written by a lecturer who I was my supervisor during my honours year at uni. 

http://books.google.com.au/books/about/A_Practical_Guide_to_Economic_Forecastin.html?id=8GAnPQAACAAJ&redir_esc=y

Go through the table of contents to see if the topics suit your requirements. I recall, exponential smoothing models, AR,ARIMAs, VARs. He uses Gretl in his course (and Excel) so I'm sure you'll be able to do the same.

I haven't taken his course, but I have used the book for applied forecasting at work. I find the explanation of the concepts neat and coherent. Hope you find it useful!

Cheers,

Mj

Hi,

I currently teach econometrics at Rutgers where I use Gretl for lab
assignments.  I may have the chance to teach an economic forecasting
course in the Fall and if so, I want to use Gretl there also.  I have
two questions.  First, does anyone have any experience using Gretl in an
economic forecasting course that they would be willing to share
experiences or know of a course that I can use for ideas?  Second, does
anyone know good book for such a course?  Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Walt
