In the spotlight: Metrobus shock drives two million more passengers to the subway

Want to trace the dynamic impact of a shock over time? Use IRFs.
Want to avoid rigid structural assumptions? Use LP IRFs.
Want to isolate the true causal effect? Use IV LP IRFs.

In this spotlight article, we demonstrate the ivlpirf command for instrumental-variables local-projection impulse–response functions by estimating the response in subway use to a sudden increase in metrobus use.
