Do follower bonus stats affect loot that is dropped for me?

Question

Does magic find on followers do anything?

There are two stat categories that affect loot that is dropped - gold and magic find. If I give my follower items boosting these stats, does that count towards the loot I see?

This is assuming an active follower.

I think it is. I didn't see that question in my initial search. This question looks like the most accurate version of what I'm looking for. — jlind, May 18 '12 at 19:47
No worries. This question will be closed, but not deleted for that very reason. — , May 18 '12 at 19:49

According to the devs: The amount displayed is your share of the bonus. You get 20% of your follower’s Magic Find, Gold Find, and + to XP.

Currently, Magic Find, Gold Find, and +XP bonuses are averaged across the entire group.
