-specific foreign output variable to capture direct inter-country linkages. In accord with the theory all variables are measured as … restrictions implied by the NK theory. The multi-country DSGE NK model is then solved to provide estimates of identified supply … through error spillover effects. Bootstrapped error bands are also provided for the cross country responses of a shock to the …
