  • What do you understand by impulse response function? It explains the reaction of an endogenous variable to one of the innovations; describes the evolution of the variable of interest along a specified time horizon after a shock in a given moment; it is an essential tool in empirical causal analysis and policy effectiveness analysis; tracks the impact of a variable on other variables in the system; traces the effects on present and future values of the endogenous variable of one standard deviation shock to one of the innovations; in signal processing, the impulse response of a dynamic system is its output when presented with a brief input signal, called an impulse; used in explaining the concepts of “pass through” which measures degree at which the changes in a variable are passed to other variables at different stages either directly or indirectly; used to further assess the tendencies of significant Granger causality results. Also, because individual coefficients in the estimated VAR models are often difficult to interpret, hence practitioners often estimate the impulse response function (IRF). The IRF traces out the response of the dependent variable in the VAR system to shocks in the error terms, such as 〖 u〗_1, 〖 u〗_2 and 〖 u〗_3 used in this tutorial. Suppose 〖 u〗_1 in the lnpdi equation increases by a value of one standard deviation. Such a shock or change will change lnpdi in the current as well as future periods. But since lnpdi appears in the lnpce and lngdp regressions, the change in 〖 u〗_1 will also have an impact on lnpce and lngdp. Similarly, a change of one standard deviation in 〖 u〗_2 of the lnpce equation will have an impact on lnpdi and lngdp…and same for a change of one standard deviation in 〖 u〗_3 of the lngdp equation. The IRF traces out the impact of such shocks for several periods in the future. Although the utility of such IRF analysis has been questioned by researchers, it is the centre-piece of VAR analysis. Using EViews10, this video shows you how to perform impulse response function within a VAR framework and interpret the results.

    TH-cam recently changed the way my content will be monetised. My channel now needs 1,000 subscribers. So it would be amazing if you show your support by both watching my videos and subscribing to my channel if you haven’t done so already. Monetising my videos allows me to invest back into the channel with some new equipment so this small gesture from you will be extremely huge for me. Many thanks for your support….CrunchEconometrix loves to teach, support my Channel with your subscription and sharing my videos with your cohorts.

    Thanks for your explanation. I have a question regarding IRF. When we talk about "10 periods", does this refer to the period over which the data is collected? For example, if my data is daily, does "10 periods" mean 10 days?
    I have another question: in the case where the impulse response is not clear, how do we interpret the results? For example, if we observe a decrease in the first few periods (1 to 2), followed by an increase (3 to 5) before fading away in the 6th period, how do we determine if the overall impact is positive or negative?

    • @CrunchEconometrix
      @CrunchEconometrix  19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      1) Periods refer to the time data is collected.
      2) You interpret IRFs based on the visuals and the underlying table. You may want to adapt my style of interpretation.

One said that if the IRF confidence bands touch zero axis at the start of the period, it is insignificant.

    This is beautiful. Very rarely do you find such "concise" explanations in econometrics videos. Thank you. I noticed no discussion about period 0 (when the innovation was introduced). I was under the impression periods 1 onward were more about how long the response to the innovation (in period 0) lasts and less about describing the actual effect of the innovation. Is this period non-significant in explaining impulse response? Thanks.

    Good day doctor, thank you once again for this amazing video. I estimated a VAR model for the purpose of interpreting my IRF using tow lags. The result is consistent with what I was looking for, the model passed the heteroschedasticity test and all the stability test however the serial correlation test is showing me that at lag one, the model has serial correlation however at lag two, it is greater than five percent which shows no serial correlation. My question is when some lags in your serial correlation test are below five percent while others are greater than five percent, can we conclude the model is good enough for interpretation? Thank you so much for your time.

There is no negative shock graphs and interpretation, like GDP declines due to the Great Lockdown or the GFC?
