In proxy vector autoregressive models, the structural shocks of interest are identified by an instrument. Although heteroscedasticity is occasionally allowed for in inference, it typically taken granted that impact effects time-invariant despite change their variances. We develop a test this implicit assumption and present evidence may be violated previously used empirical models.
