After class on Saturday, we noticed that Gretl has an "Append Data" option
under the "File" menu. I wish I had been aware of it sooner. It makes
adding more variables to your dataset very easy.
After downloading a data series from
stats.oecd.org (in CSV format):
- select the "Append Data" option (from the file menu),
- navigate to folder containing the CSV file
- if necessary, make sure that the selection window shows you all file types
- open the CSV file
After opening the CSV file, append it to the dataset
that I gave you with the "'join' (advanced)" option:
- select the series to be imported
- match the "inner key" to the "outer key" for each country
- match the "inner key" to the "outer key" for each year
- clear the "filter" field -- it should NOT say "none"
- click "OK"
Your series should then be appended to the original data.

Beginning at the 20:30 mark, the weights should be:
wt25fe = lfwa25fe * prob25fe * ( 1 - prob25fe )
In other words, I should not have taken the square root.
