Estimating shocks and impulse response functions
冲击与脉冲响应函数的估计
Abstract This paper examines the issue of how to identify the shocks in a cointegrated VAR when the following assumptions are made: the variables can be classified as endogenous or exogenous, there are as many cointegrating relations as endogenous variables, the cointegrating vectors are identified and they contain at least one exogenous variable. It is shown that with these assumptions it is possible to identify the shocks without the use of further restrictions on the…
