Impact of political influence on appointees, the: evidence from the small business administration disaster loan program
No full textPresidential disaster declarations provide disaster aid through the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and are known to be motivated by political factors as well as by
need. The extent to which politics influence the Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster
declaration decision, made by a presidential appointee, has not been previously measured. We
use new data covering 1960–2013 to show that SBA declarations are subject to the same
political influences as presidential declarations. Disasters occurring during reelection years, as
well as those occurring in electorally important states, are more likely to receive SBA
declarations. The effect of politics is stronger in the period prior to the passage of the Stafford
Act in 1988, showing that the two types of declarations are substitutes for political purposes
