INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLE ESTIMATION OF STRUCTURAL VAR MODELS ROBUST TO POSSIBLE NONSTATIONARITY
对潜在非平稳性稳健的结构 VAR 工具变量估计
This paper considers the estimation of dynamic causal effects using a proxy structural vector-autoregressive model with possibly nonstationary regressors. We provide general conditions under which the asymptotic normal approximation remains valid. In this case, the asymptotic variance depends on the persistence property of each series. We further provide a consistent asymptotic covariance matrix estimator that requires neither knowledge of the presistence properties of the…
