GOVERNMENT SIZE AND GROWTH: A REJOINDER
回应了Colombier对作者2011年文献综述结论的质疑，通过详细审查其统计证据和回归结果，反驳其论点，并指出后续新论文支持了原结论：富裕国家政府规模扩大10个百分点，年增长率降低0.5-1个百分点。
Abstract In our 2011 survey of the literature in the Journal of Economic Surveys on the effect of government size on economic growth in wealthy countries we find a relatively consistent pattern: An increase in government size by 10 percentage points is associated with a 0.5–1 percentage point lower annual growth rate. This conclusion is questioned by Colombier. In this rejoinder we present a rebuttal of Colombier's argument based on a detailed scrutiny of his own statistical evidence and regression results. Furthermore, we note that several new papers that have appeared since our original paper was published give support to our main conclusion.
