Non-linearities in macroeconomics : evaluation of non-linear time series models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate different specifications of non-linear time series models applied to macroeconomic problems and evaluate their performance in predicting the probability of two definitions of recessions.

Business cycle synchronization within the European Union: A wavelet cohesion approach

Lubos Hanus, +1 more
- 09 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the process of business cycle synchronization across the European Union by applying wavelet techniques, particularly the cohesion measure with time-varying weights, and find that participation in a currency union possibly increases the co-movement.

The effect of asymmetries in fiscal policy conducts on business cycle correlation in the EU

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of asymmetries in fiscal policy conduct upon the correlation of business cycles in the European Union were examined and the results showed a significant and robust negative effect of fiscal indiscipline and dissimilarity upon business cycle correlation in the EU.

Are the macroeconomic effects on oil price asymmetric? An asymmetric quantile regression approach

TL;DR: In this paper , the dependence and causality between crude oil and macro-fundamentals change across different quantiles of the distribution function, and the response of oil prices not only differs according to the underlying source of the variables shock but also differs across the quantiles.

A New Approach to the Economic Analysis of Nonstationary Time Series and the Business Cycle.

James D. Hamilton
- 01 Mar 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the parameters of an autoregression are viewed as the outcome of a discrete-state Markov process, and an algorithm for drawing such probabilistic inference in the form of a nonlinear iterative filter is presented.

Detrending and business cycle facts

TL;DR: This paper examined the business cycle properties of a small set of real US macroeconomic time series using a variety of detrending methods and found that both quantitatively and qualitatively "stylized facts" of US business cycles vary widely across detrended methods and that alternative detending filters extract different types of information from the data.
