Abstract
Extending a previous study, the authors use DEA methodology to 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-two administrations spanning the period of 1880-2008 are compared. The analysis yields several efficient presidents from each party. Future presidents or their advisors would do well to study these examples for clues on how to extract the most votes out of comparable situations.
