"A structural VAR uses economic theory to sort out the contemporaneous links among the variables (Bernanke, 1986; Blanchard and Watson, 1986; Sims, 1986). Structural VARs require "identifying assumptions" that allow correlations to be interpreted causally. These identifying assumptions can involve the entire VAR, so that all of the causal links in the model are spelled out, or just a single equation, so that only a specific causal link is identified. This produces instrumental variables that permit the contemporaneous links to be estimated using instrumental vari- ables regression. The number of structural VARs is limited only by the inventiveness of the researcher."
