Abstract

This paper examines the empirical analysis of the two main hypotheses subsumed under Wagner's Law. Both "Wagner's Law Version One: Restructuring Society" and "Wagner's Law Version Two: Income-Elastic Demand" have received considerable attention in the literature, although the latter version somewhat more than the former. Empirical support for both variants of Wagner's Law is mixed, probably due to the imprecision with which they are formulated and the resulting scope for diversity in empirical methodology.
