Hi,
I did not find any web page about using R in economics and econometrics so far. However, this does not mean that there is none (searching with google for "R" and "economics" gives many pages about economics and a name like Firstname R. Lastname on it ;-)). Does anybody in the list does know such a web page?
If not, I will be happy if you, Ajay, could build and maintaine one.
Okay, I made a start, with http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah/KB/R/more.html
Tell me what should go into it. :-)
- some economics topic areas and mention packages that would be useful within those areas for different kinds of analysis that are commonly done. (There are several packages related to time series.)
- economics data sources that are easily accessible from R.
- papers where the analysis is known to have been done with R (and mention availability of code and data?)
- teaching material.
- translation of econometrics terminology to R and statistics terminology.
- a list of economic/financial institutions known to be using R.
This topic has been discussed on r-help a few times before, so I think once you get a bit more structure set up then you will get lots of additional input.
