  1. The three variable VAR model is estimated by GMM; country-time and fixed effects are removed prior to estimation. Reported numbers show the coefficients of regressing the row variables on lags of the column variables. Heteroskedasticity adjusted t-statistics are reported
  2. ***Indicates significance at 1 % level; **indicates significance at 5 % level; *indicates significance at 10 % level
