Note on scripts:

Replication notes for Kilian and Vigfusson  The Role of Oil Price Shocks in Causing U.S. Recessions
JMCB paper

Notes: The files as written do a lot of simulations.  Best to try first with far fewer simulations.
 Questions: Email Rob Vigfusson at  robert.j.vigfusson@frb.gov


First file to run
* cleanscript_allmodels_alldates
o Run impulse responses and historical decompositions
o Details in file

Extra file to run 
* cleanscript_dh_alldates
o Run impulse responses and historical decompositions for the additional housing files.
o Details in file

* cleanscript_WaldSim_empval_[date]
o Run simulation exercise, calculating impulse responses for FIT models using betas calculated when FIT model is estimated on simulated data sets generated by a DGP model
* More details in file
o Each date is quite large by itself, so we generally run them separately, and then use the merge_dates_WaldSim script to bring the dates together into a single file
