I need to generate a code that downloads any time series from the macroeconomic database of the FRED of St. Louis. I know there's a database of these in Gretl, but it's not up to date. That is why I would like to see if there is any code to download it from the server. Hi, good question. First of all, I'm not sure if it's the expected status that the series in the "fedstl" or "fred_intl" databases on the server are lagging. Maybe others can weigh in on that. Apart from that I'm not aware of a gretl tool that directly grabs stuff from FRED. There's the dbnomics addon (see File/Databases/DB.NOMICS) which will have a lot of overlap with what's on FRED, but it's not the same thing of course. Another thing that would be "nice to have". cheers sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/
