Abstract
AbstractThis article evaluates the impact of partisanship on provincial fiscal policies over business‐ and electoral‐cycles between 1981 and 2016. There were partisan differences between left‐wing governments (the New Democratic Party and the Parti Québécois), on the one hand, and conservative ones, on the other. The evidence is particularly strong for business‐cycles, where left‐wing parties pursued much more countercyclical strategies than conservatives. In contrast, there was little difference between most Liberal administrations and conservative ones. Left‐wing fiscal policies nevertheless lost their distinctiveness during the last third of the study period. The article concludes by discussing possible explanations for this change.
