Dear Mr. Schreiber, since 1 year and a half I'm writing a book with the german title "Einführung in die Ökonometrie mit Gretl". It's an introduchtion into the theory of econometrics and I tried to connect the conceptions with a direct conversion into Gretl-Skripts/Dialogs etc. This approach has the advantage, that the student does not only learn the theory but also the basic concepts of Gretl. In the most books which concern with econometrics the content is limited on the theory and perhaps on Output-listings. I will finish the work in the next days and hope to find a publisher. Please notice the content of my work in the attachement... It's written in german and unfortunately not in english. Perhaps it will nevertheless find your pleasure. The work is about 540 pages and many themes are considered, as you will see.... I take refer to the Gretl-conference next year in Berlin... Perhaps it's an occasion to present the book there ?? Please forgive my modest skills in the English language... If you wish I translate the content into English. Best regards Jürgen Malitte
