[Gretl-users] Paper advocating open source software and gretl

Dear gretl users: You might be interested to hear about my new paper entitled "Should Economists Use Open Source Software for Doing Research?" published this month in Computational Economics. The paper investigates econometric software reliability and advocates the use of open source software by taking gretl as a case study and showing how responsive and transparent its development process is. I think many people here might find it an interesting read. More information and the download link is available here: http://ideas.repec.org/a/kap/compec/v35y2010i4p371-394.html I can send a working paper version if you do not have access to the above. Cheers A.
