Gerald Kramer, Steven Brams, Peter Ordeshook, Samuel Popkin, and I were
MIT undergraduates interested in political science in the late 1950s.
Kramer, after taking a job at Rochester under the new chairman, William
Riker, spent 1966–1967 at the Cowles Foundation at Yale University studying
econometrics under Marc Nerlove. He began investigating the question of
whether macroeconomic fluctuations had any effect on voting behavior. After
discovering, somewhat to his (and Nerlove's) surprise, that there did seem
to be some effect, he began exploring the question in depth, developing a
more formal theoretical framework and also using several different
econometric approaches, which jointly led to this article.

In this Top Twenty Commentaries section of the Centennial Issues of the journal, the author reviews the highly cited article Short-Term Fluctuations in US Voting Behavior, 1896 - 1964(1971) by Gerald H. Kramer. A personal narrative traces the relationship between the authors as MIT undergraduate's interest in political science. The author's investigation of whether macroeconomic fluctuations had any effect on voting behavior represented a giant step in the methodology of formal models based on "bounded rationality" assumptions. The modeling issue of how to measure performance addressed observed short-term growth rate & an expected rate, & coattails effects. The correction of a data error is related to loss of predictive ability. The results of Kramer's theoretical interest in modeling the dynamics of interactions between the economy & the party system were questioned by survey researchers unable to replicate the findings. Kramer's defense rested on the different & more tenuous parameter of the time-series variations used by macro-modelers resulting in two seminal contributions to why we say "It's the economy, stupid.".
