DP5725 Does Information Help Recovering Structural Shocks from Past Observations?
This paper asks two questions. First, can we detect empirically whether the shocks recovered from the estimates of a structural VAR are truly structural? Second, can the problem of non-fundamentalness be solved by considering additional information? The answer to the first question is 'yes' and that to the second is 'under some conditions'.
