Question regarding varobs

Hi,

I am working on Bayesian estimation. I would like to ask whether it is possible to include after "varobs" not only observed endogenous variables but also observed exogenous variables (e.g. foreign inflation, foreign GDP etc.) for the estimation procedure.

Regards,

Sigitas

Hi Sigitas,

I don't think this is possible... Instead, you may define these foreign variables as endogenous variables and model them, for instance, with a VAR (inside the model block).

Best,
Stéphane.

OK. Thank you. I will try. The idea with VAR looks promosing.

Good luck,
