% A0: nvar-by-nvar, contempareous matrix (columns correspond to equations)
|
|
% Ui: nvar-by-1 cell. In each cell, nvar-by-qi orthonormal basis for the null of the ith

|
% equation contemporaneous restriction matrix where qi is the number of free parameters.
|
|
% With this transformation, we have ai = Ui*bi or Ui'*ai = bi where ai is a vector
|
|
% of total original parameters and bi is a vector of free parameters. When no
|
|
% restrictions are imposed, we have Ui = I. There must be at least one free
|
|
% parameter left for the ith equation.
|
|
% nvar: number of endogeous variables
|
|
% n0: nvar-by-1, ith element represents the number of free A0 parameters in ith equation
