Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explore the distribution of opinion , and level of consensus among Republicans, Democrats, and economists on a number of specific economic propositions. The paper is based on a survey of Republican and Democrat national delegates and economists conducted in 2000. The survey instrument consists of 44 economic propositions, of which 26 are similar to those of a previous survey of political delegates and economists conducted in 1992. For these 26 propositions, we explore changes in the distribution of opinion over time.
