This paper provides new conditions under which the shocks recovered from the estimates of structural vector autoregressions are fundamental. I prove that the Wold innovations are martingale difference if and only if the model is fundamental. I propose a test based on a generalized spectral density to check the martingale difference property of the Wold innovations. A Monte Carlo experiment examines the finite-sample performance of the test.
