I'll probably just try to do an adequate job of it for now (the paper needs to be
ready for a conference), but I can redo the analysis before submitting it to a journal.
I think though that I can pretty much do everything I need to do using the arbond
estimation (and I've found sources for the data I'll needed), with the exception
of the categorical problem--mind you, I can always use the time-honored cop-out of taking
the log of the number of deaths.

uh-oh -- any other fancy cutting-edge stuff you want to do?
seriously, it is my impression by now that if you do all that properly
what you've asked about, your study may qualify for publication in a
pretty highly ranked journal.
OTOH, maybe you're not planning to do it properly and/or you're
underestimating the time needed for such modeling :-)
To answer your question: I'm not aware of such possibilities in gretl
(but as I said before I'm not the panel specialist here, and I have been
corrected before).
cheers,
sven
