The instructions below work. The model is over-identified.

Subject: st: SVAR: Return code 498

Dear list members, I am using the command SVAR, but when I calculate the IRFs I obtained an error message as follows:
predict may not be used after fitting an overidentified SVAR model to get these statistics for the underlying VAR, fit it with var, then run predict r(498);

This is the code I am using:

matrix A = (1,0,0\.,1,0\.,0,1)
matrix B = (.,0,0\0,.,0\0,0,.)

I wonder, why the error message appears? When the system is just identified the irfs are calculated. It seems that the irfs can not be calculated when the system is overidentified. As such, it seems to me that the estimation of the irfs do not take advantage of short run restrictions when the system is just identified. Any commenst on this issue? Your help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Charles
