A fiscal model of presidential elections in the United States: 1880-1980
Presidential studies quarterly, Vol.14, pp.98-108

Abstract
The paper presents a model in which the re-election of presidential incumbents is a negative function of increases and accelerations in federal expenditures relative to Gross National Product. Data on 26 elections held between 1880 and 1980 tend to support this hypothesis. We also find that the fiscal-electoral system of the United States exhibits homeostatic behavior similar to those of economic· and physical systems.
