Tiivistelmä	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 Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) model extends the classical VAR framework by incorporating prior beliefs about the model coefficients. Priors — most commonly the Minnesota prior — shrink VAR coefficients toward economically sensible values, dramatically reducing overfitting and improving out-of-sample forecast accuracy even when the number of variables is large.	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).
