I propose to estimate structural impulse responses from macroeconomic time series by doing Bayesian inference on the Structural Vector Moving Average representation of the data. This approach has two advantages over Structural Vector Autoregressions. First, it imposes prior information directly...

This article investigates the estimation and inference of quantile impulse response functions. We propose a new estimation method using the local projections by Jordà (2005). We establish consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator, thereby enabling asymptotic inference. We also...
