How do I interpret the Impulse Response reaction functions in the
For those of you who are good in TIME SERIES ANALYSIS.
1. Please help me with interpreting the impulse response reaction functions generated from estimating a VAR model. I understand the X-axis (vertical line) represents the time period (months, quarters, years etc.). What does the Y-axis (vertical line) represent? Is it percentage points, percentage changes, unit change or what? 2. What about reading the function itself? Normally the interpretation goes like €“ a one standard deviation shock (increase) in one variable (say money supply) will cause another variable (say interest rate) to respond ( increase) by so much (reading from the Y-axis). Now what is this one standard deviation in terms of percent point? i.e how do I convert the one STD in to percentage point so that the interpretation would go like €“ one std increase (which is so much percentage point increase) in money supply would lead to so much increase/decrease (the amount shown in the Y-axis) in interest rate. The point is one €śstandard deviation shock€ť sounds too technical for most policy makers. Thanks to all of you |
