The debates may be over, but the election economics are still a vital part of the news. A recent GBR article discusses how the presidential elections influence the stock market and a new video discusses the economic status and how the elections and political turmoil impacts investors.
ARTICLE
Recently the Graziadio Business Review posted “The Four-Year U.S. Presidential Cycle and the Stock Market” by Marshall Nickles, EdD, and Nelson Granados, PhD. This article is a follow-up to Nickels popular article in 2004, “Presidential Elections and Stock Market Cycles.”
The newer article:
- Provides evidence of the relationship between economics, politics, and the four-year presidential cycle;
- 2. Includes an analysis of stock market performance during the 2008 period;
- 3. Introduces a risk measurement for the stock market and argues that the 2008 stock market crash should be considered an anomaly; and
- 4. Concludes that the four year presidential stock market cycle is likely still in tack.
