Balanced Bootstrap Joint Confidence Bands for Structural Impulse Response Functions

Abstract: Constructing joint confidence bands for structural impulse response functions based on a VAR model is a difficult task because of the non‐linear nature of such functions. We propose new joint confidence bands that cover the entire true structural impulse response function up to a chosen maximum horizon with a pre‐specified probability (1−α), at least asymptotically. Such bands are based on a certain bootstrap procedure from the multiple testing literature. We compare the finite‐sample properties of our method with those of existing methods via extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We also investigate the effect of endogenizing the lag order in our bootstrap procedure on the finite‐sample properties. Furthermore, an empirical application to a real dataset is provided.
