Interpreting the Impulse Response Function

Postby hannajo » Fri May 15, 2015 10:00 am

Hi,

I am having trouble interpreting the impusle response function of how one logged differntiated variable affects another logged differentiated variable.

I have used Cholesky ordering and are interested in how a one s.d. shock in change in oil price affects the GDP growth rate of a country. (both variables logged + first differentiated)

Our results:

y axis shows a response of 0.011 --> Does this then imply that: one s.d. shock in change in oil price increases the growth rate with 1.1%?

I would really appreciate any answers you can give us! THANK YOU!! :D
