plot_struct_shocks: Plot structural shock time series of a STVAR model

Description

plot_struct_shocks plots structural shock time series of a structural STVAR model. For reduced form models (not identified by non-Gaussianity), recursive identification is assumed.

Usage

plot_struct_shocks(stvar)

Value

No return value, called for its side effect of plotting the structural shock time series.

Arguments

stvar

object of class "stvar"

Details

Plot the time series of the structural shocks of a structural STVAR model.
