#' BVAR: Hierarchical Bayesian vector autoregression
#'
#' Estimation of hierarchical Bayesian vector autoregressive models following
#' Kuschnig & Vashold (2021).
#' Implements hierarchical prior selection for conjugate priors in the fashion
#' of Giannone, Lenza & Primiceri (2015) <doi:10.1162/REST_a_00483>. Functions
#' to compute and identify impulse responses, calculate forecasts,
#' forecast error variance decompositions and scenarios are available.
#' Several methods to print, plot and summarise results facilitate analysis.
