Yes, it takes time for policies to take effect. Given enough years,
it seems likely that good and bad `shocks' that are not caused by a
government itself will balance themselves out. Consequently, over
time policies will show how well or badly a party does.
What are the results if you only consider rates of growth after a
party has been in power four or more years?
(To avoid stock market bubbles, please look at real economic growth.)
I did not find the numbers with a quick search on Google, nor in
Brad's textbook. Could one of you who knows fill them in:
President party years real rate of growth per year
Truman (Dem) 1948 - 1952
Eisenhower (Rep) 1956 - 1960
Johnson (Dem) 1964 - 1968
Nixon/Ford (Rep) 1972 - 1976
Reagan/Bush (Rep) 1984 - 1992
Clinton (Dem) 1996 - 2000
Thank you
