International Evidence on Output Fluctuation and Shock Persistence

Levy, Daniel C.; Dezhbakhsh, Hashem - 2010

We estimate output growth rate spectra for 58 countries. The spectra exhibit diverse shapes. To study the sources of this diversity, we estimate the short-run, business cycle, and long-run frequency components of the sampled series. For most OECD countries the bulk of the spectral mass is in the...
