{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}
{cmd:var_nr_shock_name} allows the user to name the structural shocks of the SVAR 
that will be sign-identified by the restrictions outlined in {opt sr:name}. Names 
should be entered in {opt lab:els} as a string separated by commas.

{pstd}
The number of names in {opt lab:els} should be equal to the number of endogenous 
variables and should be entered in the order that these variables were entered 
when {help var:var} was initially run. For example, if the user ran 
"{it:var inflation unemployment}", {opt lab:els} should be specified as 
("Supply Shock,Demand Shock").

{pstd}
If the user does not wish to name a given shock, its slot in {opt lab:els} 
should be filled with an empty string: "". For example, to name the supply shock 
but not the demand shock shown above, {opt lab:els} should be specified as 
("Supply Shock,").

{cmd:var_nr_shock_name} runs the Mata function 
{bf:{help shock_name:shock_name()}}.
