This paper provides an overview of the panel VAR models used in macroeconomics and finance. It discusses what are their distinctive features, what they are used for, and how they can be derived from economic theory. It also describes how they are estimated and how shock identification is...

This paper describes a methodology to estimate the coefficients, to test specification hypotheses and to conduct policy exercises in multi-country VAR models with cross unit interdependencies, unit specific dynamics and time variations in the coefficients. The framework of analysis is Bayesian:...

This paper integrates panel VARs and the index models into a unique framework where cross unit interdependencies and time variations in the coefficients are allowed for. The setup used is Bayesian and MCMC methods are used to estimate the posterior distribution of the features of interest and to...
