For a linear IRF, or impulse response function (which will be  
forthcoming from a linear VAR) the effect of (k x \sigma) is k times  
the effect of 1 \sigma, where k is any real number (including -1).  
Thus one can calculate the effect of any scaling of the standard +1  
\sigma shock from the reported IRF.
And how can I implement that in stata?

-help irf- would be a good start.
