Historical decomposition

Hi,
I have a question regarding the historical decomposition add-in. I have a VAR model with five variables (GDP, wage, productivity, inflation, unemployment rate). I identified a demand and a supply shock with sign-restrictions. When I use the add-in, I get the historical decomposition of the shocks of the endogenous variables, not these two shocks. How can I get the historical decomposition of these two identified shocks?

Hello Kiero,


I am researching on identifying fiscal policy shock. I didn't decide either sign restriction or forecast error
of government spending to use yet. I use panel annual data.

May you please guide me on how to identify government spending shocks using sign restrictions? can u share me the codes and/ or
guide me giving simulated data and steps so that I learn it easily?
Best
