I am trying to construct a VAR model using GDP, inflation rates, mortgage rates, long-term interest rates, number of houses completed and housing prices to see what impact the property market has had on the economy. My problem is with Pcgive/oxmetrics. Does it matter which variable I use as the constant? How many lags should I be using? I have used AIC and it shows 7 lags to have the lowest value. Does this sound feasible? any help is appreciated!!
