Is There a Common European Business Cycle? New Insights from a Frequency Domain Analysis
Breitung, Jörg; Candelon, Bertrand - In: Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 70 (2001) 3, pp. 331-338
To assess the synchronization of business cycles in Europe we extract the cyclical component of industrial production in five European countries using the filter of Baxter and King (1999). The hypothesis of a joint business cycle is tested by using the frequency domain common cycle test...

Euroland's Trade with Third Countries: An Estimation Based on NIPA Data
Strauß, Hubert - In: Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 70 (2001) 3, pp. 434-449
One major shortcoming in Euroland's National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) consists in the missing distinction between exports (imports) on the one hand and dispatches (arrivals) between the member states on the other hand. In this paper "true" NIPA trade is derived from official figures....

The Link of the Monetary Indicator to Future Inflation in the Euro-Area: A Simulation Experiment
Gottschalk, Jan; Stolz, Stéphanie - In: Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 70 (2001) 3, pp. 416-433
We examine the indicator property of the monetary indicator for inflation. Using a P*-model, Svensson (2000) shows theoretically that the relationship between these two variables is rather tenuous. The present study employs empirical evidence on the relations in his model to quantify its...

Trend and Cycle in the Euro-Area: A Permanent-Transitory Decomposition Using a Cointegrated VAR Model
Schumacher, Christian - In: Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 70 (2001) 3, pp. 352-363
This paper investigates the Euro-area business cycle using a multivariate autoregressive time series model with cointegration. The cointegration restrictions help to identify permanent and transitory shocks which form the stochastic part of trend and cyclical GDP, respectively. The...
