Variable interaction in VAR

Postby henriqueld » Fri Apr 10, 2015 11:20 am

Good afternoon,

I'm estimating a VAR model and am wondering if there is any way to add a variable that interact with another variable. That is, given the variable vector below:

y=(Raw materials, Credibility, 12m GDP,
Output gap, Persistency, ER variation, ER volatility, Inflation)’

What I am estimating here is the exchange rate pass-through to inflation. But I would like to add a measure that concerns the interaction between Persistency and the ERPT itself (which is the response of Inflation to an impulse in the ER variation). Is this possible?

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand the question. But you should be using a System object rather than a VAR.
