Resum	The Fourier SVAR model integrates Fourier series approximations into the structural VAR framework, allowing the model to capture smooth, gradual structural breaks and time-varying dynamics in multivariate time series without requiring a priori knowledge of break dates. It recovers structural shocks and their propagation effects while remaining robust to low-frequency parameter drift.	The Fourier VAR model extends the standard Vector Autoregression by replacing fixed deterministic terms with Fourier trigonometric components, allowing the intercept (and optionally the trend) to shift gradually and smoothly over time. This eliminates the need to pre-specify the number, timing, or shape of structural breaks in a multivariate time-series system.	Vector Autoregression is a multivariate time-series model that treats several interdependent series symmetrically, letting each variable depend on its own past values and the past values of all the others. It is the standard tool for capturing mutual causality and joint dynamics, developed in the modern multiple-time-series tradition treated by Lütkepohl (2005).
