  Trickle down effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In economics the trickle-down effect is believed to be an economic theory, despite the fact that, according to laissez-faire economist Thomas Sowell, no conservative economist has ever advocated such a theory [1] [2].
These benefits are ridiculed as 'trickle down.' This tenet is central to Supply-Side economics, a version of laissez-faire economics, and it was a highly charged issue during the Reagan Administration.
To put this in more concrete terms, an individual who enjoys the benefit of a tax reduction could decide to work more, because the marginal value of his or her labor is higher, or decide to work less, because the value of time off is greater to him or her than more money would be.

 Trickle-down theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trickle-down theory, also known as trickle down economics, was a term used by detractors and advocates alike for some of the policies of Ronald Reagan.
Trickle Down Economics was coined from a speech made by David Stockman, who was Ronald Reagan's chief economic advisor.
Trickle down was used to justify a range of changes under both British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and President Ronald Reagan, specifically those which attempted to break the power of unions, reduce impediments to hiring and firing, reducing environmental regulation, and pursue a less anti-corporate stance to legislation and economic policy overall.

 Twenty years of ‘The Trickle–down Effect’, 10/03/06, a pEaCeFuL ReVoLuTiOn (john's blog)
For over two decades, followers of the neo-liberal doctrine prescribed by economists such as Milton Friedman, and practised devoutly by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan have insisted that there is no need for active and progressive, redistributive measures: wealth will essentially redistribute itself.
The idea is that prosperity will gradually ‘trickle down’ from the spending of the rich towards the poor, as money is spent.
Yet twenty years of neo-liberal recipes and the ‘trickle-down effect’ have only brought greater inequalities and further injustice.

Trickle down effect - Definition from Investor Dictionary - Define meaning of the word Trickle down effect
In economics the trickle-down effect is central to post-Keynesian versions of conservative economic theory.
This theory does not center on the proposition that benefits given to the upper classes will "trickle down" to those below them on the social hierarchy due to the benevolence or generosity of the rich; rather, its proponents maintain this will occur mostly as a result of the normal workings of unfettered markets.

 "Trickle-Down Effect" Of New SEC Rules Could Soak Small Firms Too
On June 27, 2000, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a proposal for a major new rule that, if enacted, would force a restructuring of the accounting profession and radically alter independence requirements for accounting firms that audit SEC registrants.
They should be, because even accounting firms that do not audit SEC registrants could be seriously impacted as the effects of the proposed new rule trickle—if not cascade—down through the profession.
After all, restrictions placed on the operations of large, multinational firms could ultimately be placed on the operations of smaller, more localized firms.

GREAT NECK, Oct. 24, 2000 (SmartPros) While in favor of tightening the rules that govern auditor independence, an association of some 1,200 CPA firms says it has some concerns over the impact of the current Securities and Exchange Commission proposals on small accounting firms.
Goldfarb said the group is worried about the trickle down effect of the proposed rules, which would ban firms from providing consulting services for audit clients, from SEC registrants to smaller CPA firms.
Still, Kliegman said it's time for the SEC to put some teeth into the independence rules, and criticized the AICPA, which has been among the loudest voices in opposition to the rules, for looking out for the interests of large firms.
