本文反驳了先前关于政府支出与长期经济增长之间缺乏关系的发现，认为政府支出对经济增长有几个相反的影响。本文关注的是其中一种“相对工资效应”，即在以下国家（1)政府支出特别属于人力资本密集型，(2)政府支出在总支出中所占份额足够大），政府支出会降低增长。本文构建了各国政府支出人力资本强度的实证度量，并在满足(1)和(2)的国家中找到了相对工资效应的证据。版权归苏格兰经济学会所有。
This paper contradicts previous findings of a lack of relationship between government spending and long-run economic growth, arguing that government spending has several opposing effects on growth. The paper focuses on one of these, 'relative wage effects,' whereby government spending reduces growth in countries in which (1) government spending is particularly human capital-intensive and (2) government spending comprises a sufficiently large share of aggregate spending. The paper constructs empirical measures of the human capital intensity of government spending for a cross-section of countries and finds evidence of relative wage effects in the countries satisfying (1) and (2).
