Stata 18 offers several new features for time-series analysis. The new lpirf command estimates local projections and graphs or tabulates them with the irf suite. The new arimasoc and arfimasoc commands select the best number of autoregressive and moving-average terms. In StataNow™, the new ivsvar command estimates parameters of structural vector autoregressive models by using instrumental variables.
