Existing proofs of the asymptotic validity of conventional methods of impulse response inference based on higher-order autoregressions are pointwise only. In this paper, we establish the uniform asymptotic validity of conventional asymptotic and bootstrap inference about individual impulse...

It is common to conduct bootstrap inference in vector autoregressive (VAR) models based on the assumption that the underlying data‐generating process is of finite‐lag order. This assumption is implausible in practice. We establish the asymptotic validity of the residual‐based bootstrap...

One of the leading methods of estimating the structural parameters of DSGE models is the VAR-based impulse response matching estimator. The existing asymptotic theory for this estimator does not cover situations in which the number of impulse response parameters exceeds the number of VAR model...
