Abstract
We derive closed-form expressions for the Jacobian of the matrix exponential function for both diagonalizable and defective matrices. The results are applied to two cases of interest in macroeconometrics: a continuous-time macro model and the parameterization of rotation matrices governing impulse response functions in structural vector autoregressions.
