Reviews for The Politics of Economic Leadership: The Causes and Consequences of Presidential Rhetoric
"The book is appropriate for graduate seminars on the presidency and for quantitative methods courses that wish to include strong examples of PAR and VAR models. More generally, it should prove to be a resource for presidency, political psychology, and public opinion scholars wishing to unpack the direct and indirect causal relationships that the book identifies."
