Hi Berend Thanks for your help. The model which l have mentioned shows that Pt is dependent on Ft, EXt, FAIt, My objecttive is not only to find the impact of these varibles on Pt but also to see the extent of effect of variables influencing Ft, EXt, FAIt which are mentioned in respective equation 2,3,4 on Pt. So, l m still not clear how creation of matrix A will help with my objective . Regards, Priya Saha

Your system can be written compactly as St = + zS Ft = b1Pt + zF EXt = c1Pt + zEX FAIt= d1Pt + zFAI Pt = µ2Ft+µ3EXt+µ4FAIt + zP St is exogenous so can be ignored. The system is linear and can be written as where the zXXX are the exogenous terms of the equation for XXX. ( Ft ) ( 0 0 0 b1 ) ( Ft ) ( zF ) ( EXt ) = ( 0 0 0 c1 ) ( EXt ) + ( zEX ) ( FAIt ) ( 0 0 0 d1 ) ( FAIt ) ( zFAI ) ( Pt ) ( µ2 µ3 µ4 0 ) ( Pt ) ( zP ) (Note: read the stacked ( and ) as a single large ( or )) or y = A %*% y + z which can be written as y = solve(diag(4)-A) %*% z You only need to construct the matrix A.
