Title: Partisan Conflict and Government Spending - New Evidence From the United States
Abstract:  To understand and address the issue of how political party disagreement affects the dynamics of fiscal policy, we investigate the potential link between partisan conflict and government spending in the United States. We find that one standard deviation shock of the partisan conflict index reduces aggregate and disaggregated government spending, except in the health and general public service sectors, with the greatest reduction in the education sector.
