“…The partisan approaches assume that the economy can be described by a (short-run) Phillips-Curve-tradeoff; and that politicians are able to exploit the tradeoff strategically by fiscal and monetary policies. With respect to shortterm economic performance, the partisan models provide clear-cut predictions: leftist parties seek (or will accept) higher rates of inflation to obtain lower unemployment and faster 4 Political scientists often use the term "parties-do-matter-hypothesis" (Schmidt 1996(Schmidt , 2002 growth; rightwing parties seek (or will tolerate) higher unemployment and slower growth to obtain lower inflation. This basic pattern holds for both the classical partisan approach ) and the rational one (Alesina 1987, Chappell andKeech 1986).…”
