Their method seems to violate the Lucas critique, which implies that coefficients of a BVAR model will change when there is a change in policy rules. In this paper we construct a BVAR macro model and attempt to determine whether the Lucas critique is important quantitatively. We find evidence following two candidate policy rule changes of significant coefficient instability and of a deterioration in the performance of the DLS method."^^; "1987-12"; "2019-10-08T00:19:59.814290556+00:00"^^; "https://doi.org/10.21034/sr.109"; ; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "2020-11-16T22:18:52.237051962+00:00"^^; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "Research Paper"; "659", "524"; "Staff report (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
