摘要翻译：
通过对内生变量的子集对特定结构冲击的响应施加符号限制（符号限制的SVARs）来确定结构向量自回归(SVARs)，这方面的文献正在迅速增长。大多数用于构造符号受限SVAR脉冲响应点式覆盖带的方法都是从贝叶斯的角度来证明的。本文在矩不等式框架内证明了符号限制SVAR的推理问题。特别是，它发展了构造符号限制SVAR脉冲响应函数的置信带的方法，从频率学的角度来看是有效的。本文还提供了一个经验应用背景下的频率和贝叶斯复盖带的比较-前者可以大大宽于后者。

英文摘要：
  There is a fast growing literature that set-identifies structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) by imposing sign restrictions on the responses of a subset of the endogenous variables to a particular structural shock (sign-restricted SVARs). Most methods that have been used to construct pointwise coverage bands for impulse responses of sign-restricted SVARs are justified only from a Bayesian perspective. This paper demonstrates how to formulate the inference problem for sign-restricted SVARs within a moment-inequality framework. In particular, it develops methods of constructing confidence bands for impulse response functions of sign-restricted SVARs that are valid from a frequentist perspective. The paper also provides a comparison of frequentist and Bayesian coverage bands in the context of an empirical application - the former can be substantially wider than the latter.
