volatility and Student-t disturbances outperforms restricted alternatives that feature either attributes. The VAR model with … feature non-Gaussian error structure. We build a 4-variable VAR model where the orthogonolised shocks have a Student t …-distribution with a time-varying variance. We find that in terms of in-sample fit, the VAR model that features both stochastic …
