A Local-Spillover Decomposition of the Causal Effect of U.S. Defense Spending Shocks
McCrory, Peter B.; Ebsim, Mahdi; Dupor, Bill; Conley, Timothy G.; Li, Jingchao (2020-06-16)
This paper decomposes the causal effect of government defense spending into: (i) a local (or direct) effect, and (ii) a spillover (or indirect) effect. Using state-level defense spending data, we show that a negative cross-state spillover effect explains the existing simultaneous findings of a low aggregate multiplier and a high local multiplier. We show that enlisting disaggregate data improves the precision of aggregate effect estimates, relative to using aggregate time series alone. Moreover, we compare two-step efficient GMM with two alternative moment weighting approaches used in ...

A Cup Runneth Over: Fiscal Policy Spillovers from the 2009 Recovery Act
McCrory, Peter B.; Dupor, Bill (2014-10-22)
This paper studies the effects of interregional spillovers from the government spending component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act). Using cross-county Census Journey to Work commuting data, we cluster U.S. counties into local labor markets, each of which we further partition into two subregions. We then compare differential labor market outcomes and Recovery Act spending at the regional and subregional levels using instrumental variables. Our instrument is the sum of spending by federal agencies not instructed to allocate Recovery Act funds according to ...
