Abstract
The paper assesses the empirical relevance of the Lucas supply function for developing countries. The prediction of Lucas` model that the short-run effects of monetary disturbances on real output are negatively related to the variability of such disturbances is tested for a large sample of developing countries using distribution-free statistical methods. The negative relationship seems to be a robust feature of developing country data, and holds true for almost all of the analytical subgroups examined.
