the above should do it. the nonstandard characters in your username are
causing issues doing many things under your user folders. note many of the
specific are messages are about  being unable to find the folder, or to
have permissions in the folder, etc. Dmitri's suggestion will change the
temp folder to something outside of your user folder.  Many package
installs need temporary file space for extraction or compilation before it
puts the files where they belong.  'pkg install -forge econometrics' failed
for that reason.

his command might still fail, because it may try to install a local package
into your user folder.  with the change above, I would suggest trying to run

pkg install -forge -global econometrics

OR in the same location you downloaded and saved the zipped package:

pkg install -global econometrics-1.1.2.tar.gz

when you download a package file, don't extract it.  don't try to put it
where it belongs in the octave folder structure.  just save the file
somewhere, navigate to it, and run the install.
