Abstract

This paper proposes and implements a novel structural VAR approach for identifying oil demand and supply shocks. In this approach we search for two shocks in the context of a VAR model, which explain the majority of the k-step ahead prediction error variances of oil prices. Finally, we compare our approach with alternative identification schemes based on sign restrictions, and we show that the proposed methods is a useful tool for decomposing oil shocks.
