VARLAGSELECT is used the the VARLAG.RPF example in the User's Guide. It's also used in quite a few textbook examples, such as endersp344.rpf in the Enders' book.

Thanks a lot Tom. I will check the User's Guide.

Hi Tom,

I am running the IRFs for the GARCH(2,1) model with 7lags and I just want to make sure the line below is correct:

compute hirf(i+1)=garchp(1)(4)*hirf(i)+garchp(1)(3)*hirf(i)+garchp(1)(2)*%if(i==1,eps0(1)^2,hirf(i))

This is the code:

Thanks a lot

No. It's not allowing for the second lag on the H. The recursion changes to:

compute hirf(i+1)=garchp(1)(4)*hirf(i)+garchp(1)(3)*hirf(i)+garchp(1)(4)*%if(i==1,0.0,hirf(i-1))+garchp(1)(2)*%if(i==1,eps0(1)^2,hirf(i))

Thanks a lot Tom.

Take out the colored part of this.

compute hirf(i+1)=garchp(1)(4)*hirf(i)+garchp(1)(3)*hirf(i)+garchp(1)(4)*%if(i==1,0.0,hirf(i-1))+garchp(1)(2)*%if(i==1,eps0(1)^2,hirf(i))

Hi,

I am trying to check for the effect of uncertainty in oil price on stock returns for periods t and (t-1), and I need to get psi1 and psi2 of equation one in the attached below model.

Can you please help me adjust the model accordingly?

Your help is highly appreciated in this regard.

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2013 4:41 pm**

Isn't the only change to add the lag of sqrthoil to the model?

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:47 pm**

Correct, but I am not sure how to add the lag of sqrthoil to the model.

Can you please help me?

Thanks a lot

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:58 pm**

Add sqrthoil{1} to the DET variables in the VAR.

Posted: **Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:03 pm**

That's what I got. So, in this case the coefficients of interest psi1 and psi2 would be at the rows of BVEC(2)(9) and BVEC(2)(10) in the table below. Am I correct?

should I also set sqrthoil{1}=0 ?

Thanks a lot for all the help.

That's correct. To peg both sqrthoil parameters in the oil equation you would do:

nonlin b bvec garchp bvec(1)(9)=0.0 bvec(1)(10)=0.0
