Description
This book shows why Dan Wood is a scholar of extraordinary renown with a reputation for skillfully implementing cutting-edge quantitative methodologies into his research on a wide array of topics. His efforts to measure the intensity and tone of presidential rhetoric about the economy are impressive in terms of both imagination and ambition. -- Paul Brace, Rice University Written with admirable clarity and crispness, this book makes a strong case that presidential rhetoric on the economy matters a good deal. Among its notable strengths is the vast empirical base of the research. By drawing on an unusually broad collection of data, the book offers a more representative view of the subject than previous work. -- Stephen Weatherford, University of California, Santa Barbara

Reviews
"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."--William D. Anderson, Presidential Studies Quarterly
