תקציר	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.	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.
