Abstract
We examine whether there is a correlation between personal wealth interests of politicians and their decisions to intervene in the economy. We use the setting of the government’s support of financial institutions under the 2008 Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (ESSA). We find that the personal wealth interests of politicians are positively associated with voting in favour of the EESA.
