Dear All, I am Debasish Maitra. I am trying to run block exogeneity test in R (vars package) after a VAR model, but I am not able to find anything out to do this. It would be of great help if you kindly tell me how can I run this. Thanks, Regards, Debasish Maitra

It would be a great help if you followed the posting guide: http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html and provided a reproducible example. Use a data set included with the vars package, or some other data set included with a different R package, and tell us in a reproducible way what you've already tried, and where you're stuck. I don't believe that the 'vars' package includes a function for a block exogeneity test on its model output. The MSBVAR package provides bivariate Granger causality tests in lieu of a block exogeneity test. It would also help if you would be explicit about which form of exogeneity test you are trying to apply, with a reference to the paper you hope to use the technique from. I'm aware of at least two different approaches, which each have different assumptions. Regards, Brian
