Structural Vector Autoregressive Analysis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Structural vector autoregressive (VAR) models are widely used in many fields of economics. This book traces the evolution of the structural VAR approach and reviews its econometric foundations. It provides guidance to empirical researchers as to the most appropriate methods of estimating and evaluating structural VAR models.

Rezensionen

'The book by Kilian and Lütkepohl will become the new benchmark textbook for teaching structural vector autoregressive analysis. This book thus devotes considerable space to the issue of identification, including sign restrictions, to Bayesian methods, to Factor Vector Autoregressions and to non-fundamental shocks. These are key to understanding much of recent research. The authors do an excellent job of assembling and lucidly explaining it all. This book is destined to become a classic.'
