Robust Structural Vector Autoregression (Robust SVAR) Model

The Robust SVAR model extends the classical Structural VAR framework by incorporating robust estimation and inference methods that remain valid in the presence of heteroscedasticity, non-Gaussian errors, or outliers. By combining structural identification with robust statistical procedures, it produces reliable impulse responses and forecast error variance decompositions even when standard SVAR assumptions are violated in macroeconomic data.
