Interesting information. My first question is whether or not you are making an assumption that the D and R administrations make direct real-time effects to the economy while in power. My opinion is that there will be a lag, similar to the lag understood in the effect of adjusting the prime interest rate to the rate of growth. Perhap you could overlay interest rates over the same intervals to see if a pattern develops.
