Hey
I have estimated a VAR model and now I need a variance-covariance matrix. Can anyone tell me whether it is there:

If not pleas tell me where can I find option to set the matrix.

Thank you in advance.

You need the variance-covariance matrix of what?

I need general variance-covariance matrix of the VAR model.

There is no such thing.

Do you want the covariance of the coefficients, or the covariance of the residuals, or the covariance of something else?

Variance-covariance matrix of coefficients.

EViews doesn't compute that for VARs.

You could use Proc->Make System, then estimate the system (which will give you identical results as the VAR), then use the System View->Coefficient Covariance.

Ok, thanks a lot. And I have one additional problem. You are expert, can you look at that [http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10690] and maybe help me. It is really important for me.
Thank you again
