AboutWarren D. Miller, CFA, ASA, CPA Expertise My in-depth knowledge of economics is confined to three sub-disciplines: Austrian economics, industrial organization, and evolutionary economics. Other questions dealing with macroeconomics, the traditional neoclassical paradigm, labor economics, environmental economics, agricultural economics, health economics, and so on should go to those who have the appropriate expertise. N.B.: I DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS MARKED 'PRIVATE' because I believe that knowledge should be shared, not hoarded. I also believe that such questions are likely to come those trying to cheat.
Experience I work with Austrian economics (which is different in major respects from the traditional neoclassical model), industrial organization (which is about industry structure, conduct, and performance), and evolutionary economics (almost, but not quite, the economic analog of its biological counterpart) everyday in my work. I appraise closely-held businesses. Understanding, applying, and writing about these disciplines is an essential part of how I have made my living since 1993.

Answer Dear Davis--
Thank you for your question, and thank you for using AllExperts.com. You've asked a good question, but a difficult one to answer. Let me explain why.
The U.S. economy is a huge and complex mechanism. Therefore, trying to determine (or measure) how a single event affected (or affects) it is usually impossible. That is because it is impossible to untangle one from effect from others. There are so many effects affecting a very complex system. Trying to isolate just one is usually a waste of time.
In addition, we would have to know exactly which year(s) you're talking about. For instance, the effect of the War in Vietnam on the economy in, say, 1963 would probably be very different from what it was in 1969 and 1970 (after a new president, Nixon, took office).
However, I think I can point you towards some links which you might find helpful in your research project. Here they are:
