Inference in Tightly Identified and Large-Scale Sign-Restricted SVARs
识别约束严密的大规模符号限制 SVAR 推断
We propose a new approach to inference in tightly identified and large-scale structural vector autoregressions based on a reparameterization that enables imposing identifying inequality restrictions through continuously differentiable mappings. Permitted inequality restrictions include shape and ranking restrictions as well as bounds on economically relevant elasticities, and the approach is also able to accommodate zero restrictions in a straightforward manner. We implement…
