Function to generate foreign variables

Description

Function to generate foreign variables

Usage

GVAR_Ft(data, weight.matrix=NULL)

Arguments

data

Dataframe is a strictly balanced panel data format,the first column is cross-section ID,and the second column is Time. For the sake of identification, both columns must be named by, respectively, id and Time.

weight.matrix

Bilateral trade weight matrix for computing foreign variables. If the computation of foreign variables are weighted by one weighting matrix, weight.matrix must be a "data.frame". If the computation of foreign variables are weighted on a year-to-year basis, then weight.matrix must be a "list", with the same length as the weighting frequency. If NULL, then it computes the foreign vriables by average.

Value

Ft	Weighted foerign variables as described in GVAR

Compute the structural coefficients matrices G0, G1, G2, and F1, F2

Description

Compute the structural coefficients matrices G0, G1, G2, and F1, F2

Usage

GVAR_GF(data,p, type="const",ic="AIC",weight.matrix)

Arguments

data	Dataframe is a strictly balanced panel data format,the first column is cross-section ID,and the second column is Time. For the sake of identification, both columns must be named by, respectively, id and Time.
p	The number of lag for Xt matrix. The number of lag for foreign variables in country-specific VAR FLag is set to be p+1. Current version restricts p <= 2 for simplicity, which aims at avoiding too many paramaters in low-frequency data of many variables and many countries. It will be relaxed soon.
type	Model specificaiton for VAR. As in package vars, we have four selection: "none","const","trend", "both".
ic	Information criteria for optimal lag.As in package vars, we have four selection: "AIC", "HQ", "SC", "FPE".
weight.matrix	Bilateral trade weight matrix for computing foreign variables. If the computation of foreign variables are weighted by one weighting matrix, weight.matrix must be a "data.frame". If the computation of foreign variables are weighted on a year-to-year basis, then weight.matrix must be a "list", with the same length as the weighting frequency.

Details

This function generates several structural coefficient matrices of Eq.(2.6) in Filippo and Pesaran(2013, P.17), which are required to compute IRF and multistep forecasts. Besides, it also re-calculates the transformed residuals. In this version, we do not include the impulse responses function(IRF), because the IRF can be computed by these matrices and residuals easily. We will not update it until the next version.

Value

G0	Matrix G0 of Eq.(2.6) in Filippo and Pesaran(2013, P.17)
G1	Matrix G1 of Eq.(2.6) in Filippo and Pesaran(2013, P.17)

F2	Matrix F2 of Eq.(2.6) in Filippo and Pesaran(2013, P.17)
lagmatrix	Country-secific optimal lag number, which must be the same.
RESID	original residuals=u in Filippo and Pesaran (2013, P.17)
newRESID	New residuals=epsilon in Filippo and Pesaran (2013, P.17)
fitted	In-sample fitted values, or conditional mean
data	data used

This example data is annual trade weight matrix, it is a list with length 9 (2006-2014).Each list is a year specific 17 by 17 trade weight matrix, the column names are 17 countries. Given column j, the row-wise elements are bilateral trade weights of country j. Make sure that the length of list must exactly match with the number of years. Because once you use this as tradewieght input matrix, R function will automatically compute foreign variables weighted year-by-year. Please make sure that the order of countries exactly matches the dataset's ID column.
