Changes in residual volatility in vector autoregressive (VAR) models can be used for identifying structural shocks in a … structural VAR analysis. Testable conditions are given for full identification for the case where the volatility changes can be …

We consider structural vector autoregressions identified through stochastic volatility. Our focus is on whether a … particular structural shock is identified by heteroskedasticity without the need to impose any sign or exclusion restrictions … prior ensures that the evidence for identifying a structural shock comes only from the data and is not favoured by the prior …

The role of expectations for economic fluctuations has received considerable attention in recent business cycle analysis. We exploit Markov regime switching models to identify shocks in cointegrated structural vector autoregressions and investigate different identification schemes for bi-variate...

In conventional proxy VAR analysis, the shocks of interest are identified by external instruments. This is typically accomplished by considering the covariance of the instruments and the reduced-form residuals. Alternatively, the instruments may be internalized by augmenting the VAR process by...
