Dear Henrique, I think that R is not actually the best statistical tool to model MS-VAR. Indeed, the package msvar only allow a simple specification of the model. One tool I have ever used is on Ox with the package MSVAR built by Krolzig. This package allow a large variety of model specifications, you can choose the number of regimes, the regime dependence etc. You could find more details on his site: http://www.krolzig.co.uk/index.html?content=/msvar.html However, it would be of great interest to develop a package on R. Maybe soon...
Best regards, Sandrine Lunven Economist TAC financial www.tac-financial.com Dear R community, I'm starting to learn the MS-VAR methodology and I would like to know what I need to download (e.g. packages) to make MS-VAR estimations using R.
