The Gretl Conference is enjoyable and rewarding for Gretl users at all levels and from all disciplines. This year's program will consist of presentations by users, invited speakers (including James MacKinnon), and Gretl developers. In addition, the program will include the "wishes and grumbles" development session, in which users have an opportunity to share their comments and suggestions directly with the primary developers of Gretl. 

All users are encouraged to submit abstracts for possible presentations. Presentations on any Gretl-related topic will be considered, including (but not limited to) the following: 

  • new user-written commands, including commands for modeling and estimation, graphical analysis, data management, or reporting 
  • use or evaluation of existing Gretl commands
  • methods for teaching statistics with Gretl or teaching the use of Gretl
  • case studies of Gretl use in novel areas or applications 
  • surveys or critiques of Gretl facilities in specific fields 
  • comparisons of Gretl with other software or use of Gretl together with other software
  • computational techniques of interest to users and developers of open source software

Invited speakers:

  • Special Guest and Keynote Speaker:  James G. MacKinnon, Sir Edward Peacock Professor of Econometrics, Queen's University 
  • Allin Cottrell, Wake Forest University
  • Riccardo "Jack" Lucchetti, Università Politecnica delle Marche
