For this aim, bivariate VAR model is applied for a closer look at the effect of the credit risk on output and the classical VAR model is applied to put the credit risk in a country specific structure for the 1999:01-2015:08. The main conclusion is that the credit risk has immediate, strong and long-lasting negative impact on output for the aforementioned countries.
