I think I was wrong when I inferred from the SVAR doc that the shock has unit
size. (There is a slight difference, but I think that's just the usual issue
of d-o-f corrections or not in the sigma estimate.) Perhaps the docs for the
SVAR add-on need to be clarified (note to self); or Jack could weigh in on
this.
I'll try to contribute to the discussion once I'm back from holiday (end
of the month). :-)
