Is ‘Clarity of Responsibility’ Important for Economic Voting? Revisiting Powell and Whitten's Hypothesis
In the words of Martin Paldam, comparative economic voting studies suffer from a 'great instability' – i.e., economic effects appear in some countries at some times, but not others, and tend to be weak and inconsistent across studies. Powell and Whitten propose a possible solution to the 'instability' of cross-national voting studies: 'to explain differences in retrospective economic voting across nations and over time we must take account of the…
Parties and Economic Policy in the USA
The ability of parties to carry out campaign pledges is a central theme of democratic theory. While many scholars have viewed US parties as weak and ineffective, recent studies have suggested that the US system is surprisingly effective. We suggest that previous studies have not presented a clear picture of the relative success of each party under a variety of circumstances - i.e. `who gets what, when?'. We investigate each party's success in eco…
The Politics and economics of revenue growth
Despite considerable interest in comparative fiscal policy in general, and the high salience of tax policy and tax reform in the industrialized democracies, there are relatively few cross–national studies of the economic and political correlates of revenues over time. We undertake a cross–national time series study of revenue growth in fourteen OECD countries between 1958 and 1990.We test a number of political and economic hypotheses about revenu…
Political Parties and Public Policy
Recent studies have concluded that the U.S. system of separation of powers is surprisingly effective in producing legislation, even under conditions of divided government. This article goes beyond the question of how much legislation is produced, and evaluates the two major parties' success at fulfilling their platform pledges on social welfare policy between 1977 and 1992. An analysis of 287 pledges confirms that most pledges are fulfilled, even…
Testing the Mandate Model in Britain and the United States
The hypothesis that parties are better able to carry out mandates in Britain than the United States is tested for the Reagan and Thatcher years. A list of specific pledges was compiled and it was determined whether or not the pledges were fulfilled. The primary finding is that more Conservative party pledges were fulfilled, compared to those of the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States. In each country policy took a conservative …
Government ‘strength’ and budget deficits in advanced democracies
Roubini and Sachs provided the first systematic test of the idea that political structure the size, composition, diversity, and/or stability of a governing cabinet ‐ is related to budget deficits. In this paper, we take issue with several of Roubini and Sachs' choices concerning data and operationalization, and argue that their approach cannot offer clear conclusions about the relationship between national political structure and budget deficits.…
