pvars: VAR Modeling for Heterogeneous Panels (original) (raw)

Implements (1) panel cointegration rank tests, (2) estimators for panel vector autoregressive (VAR) models, and (3) identification methods for panel structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models as described in the accompanying vignette. The implemented functions allow to account for cross-sectional dependence and for structural breaks in the deterministic terms of the VAR processes. Among the large set of functions, particularly noteworthy are those that implement (1) the correlation-augmented inverse normal test on the cointegration rank by Arsova and Oersal (2021, <doi:10.1016/j.ecosta.2020.05.002>), (2) the two-step estimator for pooled cointegrating vectors by Breitung (2005, <doi:10.1081/ETC-200067895>), and (3) the pooled identification based on independent component analysis by Herwartz and Wang (2024, <doi:10.1002/jae.3044>).
