Well for one Barro conducted no study. Barro is one of the most prominent modern economists. All Barro did is offer a quick summary of the research piece in a magazine.
And there is no "connection". The study was conducted by academic research centers including NORC, at the University of Chicago, and Stanford if I remember correctly. To say a reference from something else was cited is pusing "connections".
