This is the website I was referring to https://gennaro.zezza.it/ However, the code are available in Eviews and not in R
let me also add the personal page of Alessandro Caiani. Under *teaching*, you can find models written in R https://sites.google.com/view/alessandro-caiani/home On the econometric side, I am afraid that I can't help since I have never tried to estimate SFC models. My original point is that an SFC model at the end of the day is a system of dynamic backward-looking equations (similar to a svar or a reduced form DSGE model) . I think that Gretl in principle can handle that as long as you have some numerical solver available. Of course, you have to build your own program but it can be done.
