Abstract

Eine neue Studie zeigt den Einfluss von Parteiideologie auf Wirtschaftspolitik in den US-Bundesstaaten auf. Demokraten haben die Staatstätigkeit ausgeweitet; Republikaner haben sie zurückgefahren. Insbesondere haben Republikaner die Arbeitsmärkte dereguliert. Problemlos implementiert werden können die Politik­unterschiede aber nur, wenn es keine geteilten Mehrheitsverhältnisse zwischen Exekutive und Legislative gibt.
