In the spring of 2003, economists Daniel Klein and Charlotta Stern sent surveys to a random selection of economists who belong to the American Economics Association and asked questions on their political affiliations and their views on 18 policy issues, such as free trade and immigration. The 264 respondents showed a marked preference for the Democratic Party, and were 2.5 times more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. Of the 18 issues, economists had consensus views on 13 of them. The issue that garnered the most support was anti-discrimination laws. The second-strongest issue of support was for air-quality and water-quality regulation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Economists were also in favour of workplace health and safety regulations, food and drug regulations, redistributions from rich to poor and gun control; they were opposed to tight immigration laws and tariffs on imported goods and video: China growth reading comes at a crossroads Vancouver condos Let's Talk Investing Video: Business forecast: Third-quarter earnings season begins (www.immigrantscanada.com).
