President Eisenhower, Economic Policy, and the 1960 Presidential Election

Author

  • May, Ann Mari

Abstract

This article examines economic policy in the Eisenhower years and the president's role in the 1960 election. I measure the impact of changes in fiscal policy on real GNP and show that policy in 1959 was unusually contractionary and cannot be dismissed as merely evidence of Eisenhower's fiscal conservatism.
