This is similar to what Eviews offered in the past (would need to check the current state of affairs there). However, this does not allow you to have different lag structures in the individual equations, and also it is not supported by the SVAR addon. If you want to restrict/shrink the parameter space more generally, I would also recommend the Bayesian approach of the BVAR package (by Luca Pedini and a little bit also by myself) as a practical tool. This is still work in progress, but was recently updated to version 0.4 and offers several popular choices of priors. In terms of shock identification, only Choleski is supported so far - this will hopefully change and be extended in the medium term. cheers sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/
