		Panel VAR Models with Interactive Fixed Effects // Implements the
		estimator of Tugan (2021) doi:10.1093/ectj/utaa021 for panel
		vector autoregression (VAR) models with interactive fixed
		effects. Provides joint estimation of VAR coefficients, latent
		common factors, and factor loadings via an iterative algorithm
		that alternates between principal component estimation of the
		factors and least squares estimation of the VAR coefficients,
		following the approach of Bai (2009) doi:10.3982/ECTA6135.
		Supports impulse response functions under recursive (Cholesky)
		identification, parametric confidence bands from the joint
		asymptotic distribution of the estimator (Theorem 2.3), and a
		classical residual bootstrap for robustness checks.
