Robust standard errors in parentheses,ap < 0.01,bp < 0.05,cp < 0.1. 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 are denoted by asterisks. 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).
