Here's a relevant comment in lib/src/irfboot.c: "In re-estimation of VAR or VECM we'll tolerate at most 9 cases of near-perfect collinearity (which can arise by chance): maybe this should be more flexible?" I'll see about respecting the "halt_on_error" setting. However, in the meantime "catch" can be used: catch matrix IR = irf(1, 2, 0.2) Allin
