Many questions of economic interest in structural VAR analysis involve estimates of multiple impulse response functions. Other questions relate to the shape of a given impulse response function. Answering these questions requires joint inference about sets of structural impulse responses,...

Many users of structural VAR models are primarily interested in learning about the shape of structural impulse response functions. This requires joint inference about sets of structural impulse responses, allowing for dependencies across time as well as across response functions. Such joint...
