Abstract

The paper shows how to calculate permanent and transitory innovations à la Blanchard and Quah (American Economic Review, 79 (1989) 655–673) from a cointegrated VAR model. This is important for two reasons: first, it clarifies the relation between the two decompositions (they are equivalent) and second, it simplifies the procedure of actually computing the structural innovations.
