POLICY OVER- AND UNDERREACTION: COLLECTED ESSSAY

This book presents 13 pioneering essays on policy over- and underreaction by Moshe Maor, a leading authority on disproportionate policy responses. Maor construes disproportion in an empirical rather than normative manner to improve our understanding of when, why, and how electorally vulnerable political executives and those operating in contexts of declining trust in government and rising negativity and populism resort to disproportionate policy measures. President Trump’s policy style and decisions are anything but conventional. His approach, often marked by dramatic shifts, bold moves, and unexpected reversals, raises important questions about the nature of policymaking nowadays. Policy Over- and Underreaction: Collected Essays, offers a framework for understanding such decisions through the lens of the disproportionate policy perspective.
