To what extend does the partisan split between Congress and the executive branch constrain the president's agenda? In this volume, political scientists and economists tackle these and many other contentious issues, offering a variety of analytical perspectives. Certain to provoke controversy, this interdisciplinary volume brings together policy experts to provide a coherent analysis of the most important economic policy changes of the 1980's. Through a detailed examination of voting patterns, monetary and fiscal policies, welfare spending, tax reform, minimum wage legislation, the savings and loan collapse, and international trade policy, the authors explore how politics can influence the direction of economic policymaking. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aEconomics$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy$y1981-1993$xDecision making 615 0$aEconomics$xPolitical aspects 676 $a338.973/009/048 701 $aAlesina$b Alberto$0120423 701 $aCarliner$b Geoffrey$01678439 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820235303321 996 $aPolitics and economics in the eighties$94046119 997 $aUNINA
