If y
2
causes y
1
, lags of y
2
should be significant
in the equation for y
1
.
A bivariate VAR:
Granger-causality means that:
x Granger-causes y if
y Granger-causes x if
Or, Granger-causality means that:
x Granger-causes y if
y Granger-causes x if

regression:
A change in u
1t
will immediately change y
1
. It will change y
2
and also y
1
during the next period.

If the innovations
t
are
contemporaneously uncorrelated,
interpretation of the impulse response
is straightforward.
The source of this forecast error is the variation in the current and
future values of the innovations to each endogenous variable in the
VAR. The percentage of the forecast variance due to each innovation,
with each row adds up to 100.
