Partisan politics in the Netherlands: macroeconomic variables (1960–2021). Note: This figure shows the relation between government ideology (indicated using gray shades in the background) and GDP growth, inflation, and the unemployment rate. Both y-axes can be used for growth, inflation, and unemployment. The x-axis shows time. The data on government ideology as well as on macroeconomic variables are from the Comparative Political Data Set 1960–2021 (Armingeon et al. 2023).
