For this module, we will focus on the variables make, rep78, foreign, mpg, and price. The estimator fits a multivariate panel regression of each dependent variable on lags of itself and on lags of all the other dependent variables. However, i can not understand how it is possible to enter separate restrictions on contemporaneous impact of three distinct structural shocks supply shocks, global demand shocks and residual shocks. In a univariate autoregression, a stationary timeseries variable can often be modeled as depending on its own lagged values.
