President Eisenhower, Economic Policy, and the 1960 Presidential Election
研究了艾森豪威尔时期的经济政策及其对1960年总统选举的影响,发现1959年的财政政策异常紧缩,不能简单归因于他的财政保守主义。
This article examines economic policy in the Eisenhower years and the president's role in the 1960 election. I measure the impact of changes in fiscal policy on real GNP and show that policy in 1959 was unusually contractionary and cannot be dismissed as merely evidence of Eisenhower's fiscal conservatism.
