Dear Allin, dear Riccardo, dear other contributors to the
development of gretl,
as a newcomer to the gretl user forum first of all I’d like
to say how impressive gretl already is – in its functionality, its
user-friendliness, but also in its flexibility to incorporate other programmes
or own functions through its own scripting language. For an average applied
economist, almost everything is there and easily available – and that as a
result of the efforts of just a few people. Congratulations and thank you very
much – you’ve really succeeded in creating a wonderful programme! I’ve started
using it at version 1.20 or so, and am absolutely amazed at the speed of its
development!
As for SVAR functionality, which would indeed be a great new
item: I’ve seen in a recent posting by Riccardo that there’s already a
collection of scripts available and that one may check how they work out by
oneself. May it be possible to receive these scripts?
And a question on GARCH models: is an addition of other
types of models (such as TGARCH, GARCH-M, where Lee Adkins provides a solution
by using the MLE in his ebook, or EGARCH, PARCH, CGARCH), and possibly an
increase in the possible order of GARCH models planned?
Maybe the latter has already been discussed – if yes, I’m
sorry for bringing it up again!
Thank you very much!
Best,
Joachim
