In this paper, we accurately derive the regime-dependent impulse response functions for a Markov switching VAR model using matrix expressions, and analyze them by transforming the model into a state-space form.
We exactly derive the regime-dependent impulse response functions for a Markov switching vector autoregres-sion (VAR) model in terms of neat matrix expressions in closed form. The key is to recognize that the latent first-order Markov switching process in the model has a VAR(1) representation, and that the model can be cast into a state-space form. Using such a representation, the regime-dependent impulse response function analysis can be processed with respect to either an asymmetric discrete shock or to a symmetric continuous shock. Our results extend and correct those obtained by Ehrmann et al. (2003) and coincide with those by Hamilton (1994) for the case of standard VAR models.
