Estimating a proxy svar

Hi Eviews community,

I refer to the new function introduced in stata which has an external instrument for estimating svars.
https://www.stata.com/manuals/tsvarivsvar.pdf
tsvarivsvar.pdf
stata's document for ivsvar
(302.88 KiB) Downloaded 9969 times
I seek advice on two things please

1) Replicating the standard errors shown on page 7 of the stata document for the given impact matrix coefficient as I do not know how to do so. I am only able to replicate the impact matrix coefficients currently.

2) Replicating the IRF shown on page 8 of STATA's document as my generated IRF looks off on the y-axis compared to STATA's.

I have the workfile enclosed and the stata program
replicate ivsvar.wf1
workfile to replicate stata's ivsvar
(190.51 KiB) Downloaded 9912 times
replicate ivsvar.prg
program to replicate stata's ivsvar
(1.34 KiB) Downloaded 9773 times
Seek the community's advice on what I am doing wrongly so i tweak my code please.

Thanks much,
Koh
