Abstract

Vector autoregression (VAR) models have been used extensively in finance and economic analysis. This paper provides a brief overview of the basic VAR approach by focusing on model estimation and statistical inferences. Applications of VAR models in some finance areas are discussed, including asset pricing, international finance, and market microstructure. It is shown that such approach provides a powerful tool to study financial market efficiency, stock return predictability, exchange rate dynamics, and information content of stock trades and market quality.
