Abstract
Using DEA methodology, we estimate and rank the relative efficiency of presidents at converting fiscal, economic, and political variables at the end-of-term election into votes for themselves or their party’s candidate. Thirty administrations spanning the period 1880-2000 are compared. The analysis yields several efficient presidents from each party. On the basis of these findings, we offer recommendations to students of the presidency, including would-be aspirants to the office and their advisors.
