For the research component of this class, we will use a free statistical analysis software package
known as GRETL. This package is relatively easy to use and offers most of the tools required for
the research paper that you will complete for this class. Also, GRETL is available for MAC and
PC operating systems. For this assignment, please complete the following tasks:
1. The latest version of GRETL is numbered 2022b that was built on August 9, 2022. For Windows
users, go to gretl.sourceforge.net/win32/ and download the version of the program that works for
you (32-bit or 64-bit EXE file). For MAC users, go to gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html and download
the version of the program that works for you (depending on the vintage of your CPU). Please
install the software on your Windows or MAC computer. If you have any trouble installing GRETL
on your MAC computer, please follow the installation notes provided at the site. Also, please let
me know if you need help.
