The document analyzes the impact of Senator Jim Jeffords's 2001 switch from Republican to Independent on the stock prices of firms aligned with Republican and Democratic interests. It challenges the conventional belief that the Senate majority party does not significantly influence legislative decisions, presenting evidence that majority status affects asset prices. Using an event study methodology, the authors found that stock prices for Republican-supported energy firms dropped while those for Democrat-supported firms rose following Jeffords's switch, indicating that majority party control has meaningful implications for policymaking and investor expectations.

How does a two party system affect our politics in the United States?

Since the Democratic and Republican Parties are the two largest parties in the U.S., candidates from these two parties tend to get the plurality of votes. Therefore, other smaller parties are often left unsuccessful in elections.

Why is there no mention of political parties in the US Constitution?

The subject of political parties is not mentioned in the United States Constitution. The Founding Fathers did not originally intend for American politics to be partisan.

What is one reason why political parties formed in the United States?

Political factions or parties began to form during the struggle over ratification of the federal Constitution of 1787. Friction between them increased as attention shifted from the creation of a new federal government to the question of how powerful that federal government would be.
