A collection of MATLAB codes for VAR analysis—estimation, identification, IRFs, variance and historical decompositions.

v4.0 is a major overhaul: new identification schemes, LPs now in the toolbox, and a long-promised handbook.

Short thread with details below 👇

@FabioGhironi @UWecon Congrats! Looking great the both of you. You likely were the only dad with a gown…so cool and a great memory for Isabella!

@jt_kerwin Nonsense. Unless the “wiggle and discretion” implies changing it altogether. Much has been said/written abt it. Otherwise it’s another example of monopoly and its detrimental consequences–including ignoring rigorous innovations in superb outlets.

Global current account imbalances are widening again. History shows widening imbalances can cause sectoral dislocation, often come before financial crises or abrupt reversals of capital flows. A disorderly adjustment could be exceptionally costly. 1/7

Our paper on the long-term effects of Trump 2.0 tariffs is published in the JIE (open access link below).

TLDR: While tariffs may deliver short-term revenues & welfare gains for the US, the long-term cost of undermining global cooperation is enormous.

@FabioGhironi A labor search model. With involuntary unemployment if p =/= 1 :) (not guessing here, rather ... trying to remember from when I TAed/graded this cool course!) ... these must have been some great office hours for your students...hope all is well!

@caroartc @nberpubs Felicitaciones Caro! 💪🏻 🎉

[Camilo Granados @jocamgra]

@FabioGhironi We’re very sorry to hear this. Our deepest condolences to you, Katrina, and the kids. Their sadness showing reflects they probably got to know him well enough; likely due to the choice you made for the family when moving closer to them (with all the trade-offs this meant)

[Pontus Rendahl @pontus_rendahl]

Our summer school is filling up, and we will shortly close for applications. If there are any latecomers we can squeeze in a few more people before July. So if you know anyone that might be interested please RT!

Thanks so much for all help and support! 🙏
