Yes, you may try the "GJR- Garch in Mean" either via GUI or gretl console. The estimated results are shown below.

Yi-Nung Yang

? list x = const
? garchm(r, 1, 1,x, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0.7, 0, 0, null, null)

================================================================

The coefficient of GJR Term is gamma_i
Presample variance: backcast (parameter = 0.7)

-------    mean eq & variance eq in this GARCH model --------
  e = y - b0
  h = omega +alpha1*(e(-1))^2+gamma1*(e(-1))^2*(e(-1)<0)+beta1*h(-1)
================================================================
Using numerical derivatives
Tolerance = 1.81899e-012
Function evaluations: 69
Evaluations of gradient: 21

Model 3: ML, using observations 1-500
ll = -0.5*(log(2*pi)+log(h) + (e^2)/h)
Standard errors based on Outer Products matrix
