Although included in the GVAR Toolbox 1.1, the GVAR data (1979 Q1 - 2009 Q4) can also be downloaded separately, if required. An updated version of the dataset, GVAR data (1979 Q1 -2011 Q2), is also provided. Both versions of the data can be found below:
- GVAR data (1979 Q1 - 2009 Q4) (zip, 896KB)
- GVAR data (1979 Q1 - 2011 Q2) (zip, 826KB)
The GVAR Toolbox is based on the Gauss code GVAR for Gauss (Dec 2010) (zip, 926KB). This is an updated version of the original Gauss code, to replicate the results in Dees, di Mauro, Pesaran and Smith (2007).
