Dear Nikola:
I'm not sure, but probably it would be possible to test for
non-Granger causality test as David Giles explains for Eviews using
your option VEC Granger Causality Test/ Block Exogeneity Wald Test
with the VAR options in Gretl.

Hi José, this is an interesting idea (declaring the p+1-th lag as an
exogenous variable) - but first it didn't work for me, because gretl is
apparently "too clever" with its lag handling and doesn't directly allow
you to put a lag of an endogenous variable into the list of exogenous ones.
However, what did work is to manually create an extra list before
running the VAR. Example in script form:
<hansl>
open denmark
order = 4 # let's assume this is correct
list endogenous = LRM LRY IBO # just an arbitrary example
list extralag = lags({order+1}, endogenous) # note the curly braces
var order endogenous ; extralag
</hansl>
And then you have your relevant and appropriate Granger test results in
the standard VAR output indeed. The same thing can be achieved via the
menus.
thanks
