摘要
In vector autoregressive analyses, confidence intervals for individual impulse responses are typically reported in order to indicate the sampling uncertainty in the estimation results. Various methods are reviewed, and a new method for the construction of joint confidence bands, given a prespecified coverage level, for the impulse responses at all horizons considered simultaneously, is proposed. The methods are compared in a simulation experiment and recommendations for empirical work are provided. (C) 2013 International Institute of Forecasters. Published by Elsevier B.V.
