There are two defensible methods of measuring the performance of the economy on Reagan's watch. One method is to examine the economic record from the month Reagan formally took office, January 1981, through the month he left the White House, January 1989.

Reagan was elected in November of 1980, inaugurated on January 20, 1981, but his first budget wasn't submitted until October of 1981. So the "Reagan Years" should start no earlier than October of 1981 and should run through September of 1989 (as is stated later in the study). Some (Most) economists claim that the fiscal policies of an incoming President take a year to 18 months to bear fruit...this means that the "Reagan Years" could be considered to run from October of 1982 through September of 1990 and could be as late as April of 1983 through March of 1991!!!

I wonder how the numbers would stack up for President Reagan under those time frames??
