Abstract: We consider the local identification of parameters in structural VAR models with ARCH type errors. By establishing a mapping between the structural and reduced-form models, we provide a set of sufficient conditions for the joint identification of all parameters. Under these conditions, as the structural parameters are identified, various restrictions on the parameters can be tested in a standard manner. For example, the significance test for the ARCH effect in the usual GARCH formulation for a structural shock does not suffer the complications caused by a lack of identification encountered in univariate GARCH models.

This paper estimates structural VAR models to compare the transmission mechanism of monetary and fiscal policy in the Americas and the EMUarea countries. First, the NAFTA countries are considered and the estimation results are compared with those for the EMU-area countries. Attention is also paid to interaction of macroeconomic policies and the effects of shocks in financial markets. Results show that the Americas except for the U.S. and Canada react rather differently to monetary and fiscal policy shocks than the EMU- area countries.
