  • Exogenous Variable Selection for Panel VAR Models

    Hi, Dear All,
    I am new to the PVAR model and I have some questions about the exogenous variables in the PVAR model:
    1. When specifying a PVAR model, should the exogenous control variables in exog() be:

    A) Variables that influence both endogenous variables (y1 and y2)

    B) Variables that influence either endogenous variable( y1 or y2)

    I read the Chang et al. (2024) paper (link attached below). In their PVAR tests, they include only variables that influence both endogenous variables. However

    2. a general question: When specifying a PVAR model, what types of control variables can be in exog(). Based on what I understand, the exogenous control variables should influence y1 and y2 but not be influenced by y1 and y2. Am I correct?

    I want to ensure I am selecting valid exogenous variables that do not cause endogeneity issues. Any guidance on appropriate exog() variable selection for PVAR models would be helpful.
