Re: Threshold Structural VAR

Thank you. A couple other questions (at the moment): 1) In calculating the IRFs, does the standard deviation of a shock reflect the standard deviation of a variable during that particular regime or its standard deviation over the entire sample? 2) Is it possible to compare the information criteria o...

Re: Threshold Structural VAR

I had not yet updated the Add-in, so thank you for the suggestion.

What syntax should we use in the command line to estimate cumulative generalized impulse functions? Previously it was girf=1. Is it not cgirf=1? Or something else?

Thanks again!

Re: Threshold Structural VAR

Hi,

Could you verify if the GIRF function in the ThSVAR add-in displays cumulative generalized impulse response functions or not? If not, is there a way to export the underlying values to Excel?

Thanks

Re: Threshold Structural VAR

I have a question regarding how the threshold variable is calculated... As an example, I have monthly data on credit spreads from 1919m1 through 1941m12. For the threshold variable I'd like to use the moving average of the credit spread with a length of 6. If I set the sample from 1919m6 through 194...

Re: Threshold Structural VAR

No worries.

A couple other quick questions though...

1) Does the moving average include the current period or only previous periods?

2) How should we cite your program?

Re: Threshold Structural VAR

Thank you for the suggestions! I made the recommended changes and the program is now working. For my current research it also might be useful to try and create figures similar to Figures 3 and 4 in the Balke (2000) paper. Do you have any suggestions for determining the probability of a regime change...

Re: Threshold Structural VAR

Hello, While trying to run the THSVAR program I received the following error message: "Invalid (or out of range) coefficient or matrix index 0." I'm trying to run a VAR with the following five variables: rgdp_growth, inflation, fedfunds, baa_gs10, and assetsgr. The threshold variable is ba...
