Number of observations: 397

in OLS and 374 in

IV regressions. All

regressions contain a full set of country fixed-effects, year dummies, and an array of orthogonal shocks (TFP, terms of trade, real interest rate,
and labor demand shocks) as additional controls for business cycle comovements. Trade-weighted averages for foreign variables (denoted by
asterisks) are computed using α
1 = α2 = 1, and δ = 1. In IV regressions, the foreign unemployment rate u* is instrumented by b*-1,PMR*-1
and gap*-1. The χ2-endogeneity test tests the null that u* is exogenous (and rejects in all presented IV models). Overidentification is tested
for using the Wooldridge robust Score test (invalidity of instruments or model misspecification is rejected in all presented IV models).
