Causal inference by independent component analysis with applications to micro- and macroeconomic data
Moneta, Alessio; Entner, Doris; Hoyer, Patrik; Coad, Alex - 2010
Structural vector-autoregressive models are potentially very useful tools for guiding both macro- and microeconomic policy. In this paper, we present a recently developed method for exploiting non-Gaussianity in the data for estimating such models, with the aim of capturing the causal structure...
