the claim

Ronald Reagan's economic policies caused the 1981 to 1982 US recession.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Ronald Reagan's economic policies caused the 1981 to 1982 US recession?

Partly. One reference work links the 1981-82 recession partly to Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes rather than Reagan's fiscal policies, while other sources note Maine's relative insulation from the recession and place Reagan's 1981 policies within a broader rightist shift. None of the retrieved items directly settles whether Reagan's economic policies caused the recession.
