Aksoy, Y. & Melina, G. (2012). An empirical investigation of US fiscal expenditures and macroeconomic outcomes. Economics Letters, 114(1), pp. 64-68. doi: 10.1016/j.econlet.2011.09.017
Abstract
In addition to containing stable information to explain inflation, state-local expenditures have also a larger share of the forecast error variance of US inflation than the Federal funds rate. Non-defense federal expenditures are useful in predicting real output variations and, starting from the early 1980s, present also a larger share of the forecast error variance of US real output than the Federal funds rate.
