Hi José, from section 22.5 in the guide (and also checking the doc for
the --cluster option for the ols command) I tend to think that in gretl
currently these are mutually exclusive options, so it wouldn't currently
be possible. Maybe someone with more experience in this area can weigh in.
I'm noting that combining the --cluster and --jackknife options does not
produce an error, however.
To expand on Sven's point: at present the --jackknife option is only
available for OLS estimation (and not in the case of pooled panel
OLS). The --cluster option is available more generally, though not for
all estimators. Sven's right that gretl hasn't been very clear on the
issue of compatibility of --jackknife and --cluster, but that's now
fixed in git and snapshots: as things stand these two options are not
compatible, and we now complain if both options are given.
At some point we may be able to figure out Hansen's Jackknife +
clustering, but that combination is not supported yet.
