(eng): The article presents alternative version of Bayesian vector auto-regression model with Laplace distributed innovations. Bayesian estimation in such model is more computationally demanding than estimation in a model with normally distributed innovations, but because of the heavier tails of Laplace distribution, it is more robust. In the article I try to present the way of proceeding with the estimation, obtaining a full posterior distribution of the parameters as a result. At the end an efficient algorithm is sketched, but this part of the research is still unfinished.
