This chapter first introduces impulse response analysis and forecast error variance decomposition for unrestricted vector autoregressive (VAR) models and discusses the orthogonalized and generalized impulse response functions. It then considers the identification problem of short-run effects in a structural VAR model. It reviews Sims' approach and investigates the identification problem of a structural model when one or more of the structural shocks have permanent effects. Exercises are provided at the end of the chapter.Less
