R for economists (was: [R] Almost Ideal Demand System)

[David Smith]

Not exactly R-related, but since there seems to be a lot of interest in this
topic, I'd also mention the book:

"Modeling Financial Time Series with S-PLUS", by Eric Zivot et al, which has
several chapers on econometric modeling with S. The book website is at:

http://faculty.washington.edu/ezivot/modelingFinancialTimeSeries.htm

The functions and examples in the book can be run with the S+FinMetrics
module for S-PLUS 6. Details at:
