function imf = fn_impulse(Bh,swish,nn)
% Computing impulse functions with
%                imf = fn_impulse(Bh,swish,nn)
%  imf is in a format that is the SAME as in RATS.
%         Column: nvar responses to 1st shock,
%                     nvar responses to 2nd shock, and so on.
%         Row:  steps of impulse responses.
%-----------------
%  Bh is the estimated reduced form coefficient in the form
%       Y(T*nvar) = XB + U, X: T*k (may include all exogenous terms), B: k*nvar.
%       The matrix form and dimension are the same as "Bh" from the function "sye.m";
%       Column: 1st lag (with nvar variables) to lags (with nvar variables) + const = k.
%       Note: columns correspond to equations.
%  swish is the inv(A0) in the structural model y'(t)*A0 = e'(t).
%       Note: columns corresponding to equations.
%  nn is the numbers of inputs [nvar,lags,# of steps of impulse responses].
