Here are the project details:

tidyMacro provides a tidy, consistent workflow for estimating and analysing VAR and SVAR models in R. The package covers the full modelling pipeline — from model estimation and structural identification to impulse response functions, forecast error variance decompositions, and historical decompositions — all within a coherent friendly interface.
