Hi everybody,

with a little delay I've become aware of some work that updates the good old area-wide model dataset. In gretl we currently ship AWM, AWM17, and AWM18, and then it wasn't updated anymore at the source. Now there's ˙Ipek and Kısacıko˘glu who offer new data, see https://mahmuts.bilkent.edu.tr/ and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WRyq4iX3KIEFogV_xESpBtdrT7cQLk3c/view?usp=sharing.

I wonder whether we should ask them if we can convert their Excel file and ship it with gretl in the future. The "downside" is that they want to update it regularly, so the question is whether it's too much of a moving target; plus I just tested the import into gretl, and it works flawlessy, you only need to tell gretl to use the second (out of three) sheets in the workfile. So in that sense it could be argued that there isn't much value added in providing it in gretl format. (Well, from their dataset you don't get the series descriptions, so that might be some value added.)

cheers

sven
