Political accountability for price stability and unemployment in a multi-party system with coalition governments

Paul Renaud and Frans Winden

Public Choice, 1987, vol. 53, issue 2, 186 pages

Abstract: A model of party popularity for multi-party systems is presented and applied to the Netherlands. Main conclusions are: first, inflation and unemployment and their interaction affect the popularity of parties; second, it is important to take into account that voters may reckon with a trade-off between these variables; third, it is wrong to handle a coalition government as a homogeneous entity.
