Dear Gretl users,
I have two questions concerning VARs:
1. Is there any built in function in gretl for historical forecast error
variance decompositions?
2. Is it possible to estimate a recursive linear VAR imposing zero
restrictions on some coefficients? That is, is it possible to estimate a
VAR with a block exogenous set of variables?
Thank you,
Gabriela

Not at the moment, but addinbg this to the SVAR package has been on my
to-do list for a long time. I'll see what I can do in the next few days.

If I understand correctly what you want to do, the SVAR package should
make your job relatively painless: I'm attaching an example which uses the
AWM dataset to set up a NK 3-equation model and estimate it under an
identification strategy like the one you describe. For more details, see
the SVAR documentation.

Where are you getting this from? All I get when I run your code is:

I can't see it amongst the function packages, either.
My -gretl- v1.9.92 has just been freshly updated from CVS.

Actually, your post is similar to mine in December. See here:
http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-users/2014-December/010517.html
You can estimate those "gappy" VARs using the "system" command.
However,
as far as I know this is not supported within the SVAR package.
JMulti also supports "gappy" VARS and even includes an algorithm for
testing these restrictions. Addtionally, you can impose further
restrictions on the VCV matrix following the SVAR methodology.
Best,

What you're describing is not a SVAR at all (unless you also have extra
assumptions on the disturbances): it's simply a restricted VAR, which can
be handled quite easily via SUR estimation: set up a system an you'll be
ok.

Not at the moment, but addinbg this to the SVAR package has been on my to-do

Attention everyone (esp developers): a new version of the SVAR package
which includes historical decomposition is in CVS. Before we give it
official status, I'd like people to test it if possible, especially the
new features (see section 4 of the accompaying pdf document). The example
directory contains a "BlQuah_hd.inp" file with an example, but clearly if
people could try out the new stuff with their own data would be best.
Thanks!

Ok, I've built a "snapshot" of the new version of the package that you can
download from here:
http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti/gretl/SVAR.gfn
Basically, you'll have to replace your existing version of SVAR.gfn with
this one. Assuming you're running windows, it should be under something
like "C:\Program Files\gretl\functions\SVAR\".
Be sure to also download the updated documentation file
http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti/gretl/SVAR.pdf
and copy it to the same folder. You'll want to have a look at section 4.

I've received no feedback whatsoever on the new features, which can either
be a very good sign or a very bad one.
The new version of the SVAR addon is now available to everybody using a
CVS version of gretl or a windows snapshot. In order to grab it, you
1) go to the help menu, select "check for addons", and update SVAR
2) in the "examples" subdir, you should now find a "BlQuah_hd.inp"
file,
which exemplifies historical decomposition using the famous
Blanchard-Quah dataset
3) the relevant info is now section 4 of the SVAR.pdf file, which is in
the usual place.
Please test!

Dear all,
I'm having troubles in loading the updated SVAR.gfn. I have already saved
the function in the gretl directory, in the "functions" folder. When
running "include SVAR.gfn", it happened that the old package was being
included.
From the main menu "Files --> Function files --> on local
machine", I have
deleted the SVAR package hoping that it would then upload the
updated
function. But now gretl is not able to find the SVAR function anymore (or
better: I am not able to tell gretl where to search for it :)
P.S.: I have a mac pc..
I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this trivial
problem!
Thanks,
Gabriela

From the main menu "Files --> Function files --> on local machine", I

deleted the SVAR package hoping that it would then upload the updated

better: I am not able to tell gretl where to search for it :)
P.S.: I have a mac pc..
Are you running a current gretl snapshot? (Under "/Help/About gretl"
the version should be 1.10.0cvs.) The latest SVAR requires gretl
1.10.0.

In practice:
- download the installer for osx from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/
- remove the old version
- install the new version
- then go to "Help > Check for addons"; you should see that the suggested
version for SVAR is 0.9995. Go for that.
- having done this, navigate to your $HOME/gretl/functions/SVAR/examples
folder: the example file for historical decomposition ("BlQuah_hd") should
be there
- happy SVARing :)

Ooooof.
Attention, everybody.
I just uploaded 0.9996, which fixes a bug with IRF plotting, so please
update your addon if you're running CVS or snapshot.
Sorry, that was poor testing on my side.
BTW: I can't replicate the issue Artur reported with zooming/unzooming the
IRF plots. It must be a gnuplot-related thing.

Dear Allin and Jack,
Thanks a lot for the support. All done. I have updated gretl, and got the
new 0.9996 version of SVAR.
Finally, I was able to get historical decompositions. Everything seems to
be working fine!
Thanks again. Have a great day,
Gabriela
