An important preliminary step in impulse response analysis is to select the vector autoregressive (VAR) lag order from …-squared error of the implied impulse response estimates. We conclude that for monthly VAR models, the Akaike Information Criterion … quarterly VAR models, the Hannan-Quinn Criterion (HQC) appears to be the most accurate criterion with the exception of sample …
