Note: WLS is used for estimation, where N=54 and T=119. The results for additional terms are available in the Online Appendix. The CSD Test refers to the (Pesaran, 2015) test with a null of weak cross-sectional dependence. The Sims Non-Causality Test refers to a F-test on the significance of three leads of the policy variables as suggested by Sims (1972).
