Abstract
Identification of smooth-transition VAR structural parameters using an external instrument requires supplementary assumptions relative to the benchmark linear case. This paper shows that such additional discretion may have relevant implications for impulse response functions estimates.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
