Could dynare estimate the covariance of exogenous shocks?

Hi,
I'm trying to research the relationship between different exogenous shocks, and the dynare.pdf says that we can set correlation or covariance.
So could I set the prior distribution of correlation or corariance, and then estimate the posterior distribution of correlation or corariance with data?
For example:

shocks;
var e_a e_b; stderr 0.1; (or) corr e_a e_b; stderr 0.1;
end;

estimate;
stderr e_a e_b,inv_gamma_pdf,0.1,inf;
end;

Thank you.
