Notes

  1. 1.

    Their work differs from that of Ball et al. (1988) and Carlino and DeFina (1999) by allowing for the differential effects of monetary policy and government spending. They test the new Keynesian proposition that sticky prices increase the effects of government spending and monetary policy on GNP. They found little evidence of the new Keynesian sticky price model.

  2. 2.

    This approach differs from Ball et al. (1988) and other studies that use cross-country analysis.
