Stephen E. Haynes
, Professor and Department Associate Head, received a B.S. in
Zoology in 1968 and a Ph.D. in Economics in 1976 from the University
of California at Santa Barbara. He joined the department in 1978.
Stephen Haynes has primary interests in international
economics and public choice issues in macroeconomics. In the international
area his work focuses on the impact of exchange rate fluctuations
on the U.S. trade balance, and the determinants of floating exchange
rates.
In current projects, Professor Haynes is exploring how exchange rate volatility biases the measurement of antidumping duties (with Bruce Blonigen); the importance of cross-price effects in demand between export and import goods, with implications for the J-curve; and the confounding impact of third-country factors on empirical models of bilateral exchange rates.
In the areas
of public choice and macroeconomics, Professor Haynes has written
several papers with Joe Stone (research supported by a two-year
grant from the National Science Foundation). This work shows that
movements in U.S. macroeconomic performance (unemployment, GNP
growth, and inflation) and policy follow significant four-year
cycles that differ by political party. In other papers, Professor
Haynes demonstrates how these partisan business cycles influence
the popularity of the President as the election approaches, and
that the performance of the economy alters the party affiliation
of the electorate.
