Problem
Median voter theory says that to predict changes in collective decision-making, one should focus on the median voter. Between 1973 and 1993, average incomes in the United States increased, while the income of the median family remained roughly stagnant.

How might an economist focusing on median voter behavior and an economist focusing on average incomes differ in their predictions concerning changes in the level and composition of public expenditures?
