Panel A of Table 15 displays the average responses at 4 and 12 quarters in the two subsamples. In S1, the average response at 3 years is negative but small in the US and
Germany - about -.1 - , and essentially 0 elsewhere. Unlike the case of spending shocks,
the response is mostly lower in S2: it is slightly positive in Germany, essentially 0 in the
UK, and slightly negative, but significant, in the other countries.
