discuss the empirical results of the VAR model analysis described in the previous section. In subsection 4.1 we analyse significance of coefficients in the model and apply Granger Causality test. In subsection 4.2 we present the results of impulse response functions analysis and variance decomposition. Afterwards, we turn to subsection 4.3 to test reliability of the VAR model. 4.1 Testing for significance and Granger-causality According to Wald test (Table 5) the hypothesis of zero coefficient…
