摘要
This paper examines the response of consumer spending to government purchases within four spending categories: education, health, housing, and transportation. Estimation suggests they are either complements or independent, and confidence intervals exclude large estimates of substitutability found in the literature. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
