چکیده
5 Existing research provides no systematic, limited information procedure for handling 6 non-invertibility, despite the well-known inference problem it causes as well as its 7 presence in many types of dynamic systems. Non-invertibility means that structural 8 shocks cannot be recovered from a history of observed variables. It arises from a form 9 of delayed responses due to, among other things, time-to-plan, sticky information or 10 news shocks. Structural VARs rule out non-invertibility by assumption. Inference 11 about structural responses can, in turn, be incorrect. We develop a four-step proce12 dure to partially, and sometimes fully, identify structural responses whether or not 13 non-invertibility is present. Our method combines structural VAR restrictions, e.g. re14 cursive identification, with ”agnostic” identification, e.g. sign restrictions and bounds 15 on forecast error contributions. In two model-generated examples, our procedure re16 covers the structural responses where structural VARs cannot. Also, we apply our 17 procedure to real world data. We show that non-invertibility is unlikely in Fisher’s 18 (2006) study of technology shocks in the U.S. 19 J.E.L. Classification: E3. 20

متن کاملInvertibility of retarded response functions for Laplace transformable potentials: Application to one-body reduced density matrix functional theory.
A theorem for the invertibility of arbitrary response functions is presented under the following conditions: the time dependence of the potentials should be Laplace transformable and the initial state should be a ground state, though it might be degenerate. This theorem provides a rigorous foundation for all density-functional-like theories in the time-dependent linear response regime. Especial...
متن کاملLinear Maps Preserving Invertibility or Spectral Radius on Some $C^{*}$-algebras
Let $A$ be a unital $C^{*}$-algebra which has a faithful state. If $varphi:Arightarrow A$ is a unital linear map which is bijective and invertibility preserving or surjective and spectral radius preserving, then $varphi$ is a Jordan isomorphism. Also, we discuss other types of linear preserver maps on $A$.
متن کاملFinite Type Link Invariants and the Non-invertibility of Links
We show that a variation of Milnor’s μ̄-invariants, the so-called Campbell-Hausdorff invariants introduced recently by Stefan Papadima, are of finite type. This implies, in particular, that finite type link invariants can detect the non-invertibility of a link with more than one components and they are thus stronger than quantum invariants. It is still open whether finite type knot invariants (V...
