Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 2:00 pmThe attached zip file includes most of the analysis in Sims and Zha(1999), "Error Bands for Impulse Responses", Econometrica, vol 67, no. 5, pp 1113-1156. This includes calculation of error bands using Monte Carlo integration, bootstrapping and also includes IRF's for a structural VAR. The four main program files are:
This uses several of the new procedures such as MCGraphIRF, MCVarDoDraws and BQDoDraws.
- ymmodel.rpf. Program for the two variable Y-M model (Monte Carlo and bootstrapping)
- bqmodel.rpf. Program for the two variable B-Q model (Monte Carlo and bootstrapping)
- simsmodel.rpf. Analysis of the 6 variable structural VAR (parameters of model only)
- simsirf.rpf. MC analysis of the IRF for the 6 variable structural VAR
This uses several of the new procedures such as MCGraphIRF, MCVarDoDraws and BQDoDraws.
