Hi all,

I am new to Python. Just wondering can Python able to do econometric
regression in either Time-series or pooled (panel) data? As well as test
for hetero, autocorrelation, or endogeneity?

There is not, however, a readily-accessible library targeted
for this sort of work. If I had the opportunity to work in
econometrics now, I'd think seriously about R, Lisp, and
Mathematica, and see what's available among the functional
languages, along with Python.

Smalltalk, too; I'd throw it in the mix. Much serious econometrics
has been done with Fortran, but I have no enthusiasm for pursuing
that direction, mostly because I think too much of the computing
world is going in a different one.

But I'm not you, DeepBlue, or, more specifically, it's unlikely that
our circumstances are at all similar. Is your project at a hobbyist
level? How does hardware constrain you? How big is your team ...?
