Reply to “A Replication of “Meta-analysis of the Effect of Fiscal Policies on Long-run Growth†(European Journal of Political Economy 2004)â€

Peter Nijkamp and Jacques Poot

Public Finance Review, 2016, vol. 44, issue 3, 406-412

Abstract: In this reply, we comment on Reed and Sidek’s replication of Nijkamp and Poot. We note that Nijkamp and Poot’s conclusions are robust to, first, trimming their sample of primary studies to improve comparability across studies and, second, greatly expanding the number of observations for meta-analysis by including multiple estimates from each of the trimmed sample of primary studies. We argue that future meta-analyses of this empirical literature would benefit from a narrower focus on specific fiscal policies and from considering institutions and cultural–attitudinal contexts within which primary studies are conducted.
