Dans cet article nous étudions la présence de chocs temporaires et permanents, peu fréquents, dans les séries trimestrielles du PIB de l’après seconde guerre mondiale en France, au Royaume-Uni et aux Etats-Unis à partir de l’approche des points atypiques. Nous trouvons que des...

Using the outliers methodology, the focus of this paper is to present the time series dynamics of the German higher education system before 1945. The outline of the paper is as follows. In Section 2, we define the outliers and describe the outliers identification procedure. We apply this...

This article extends earlier efforts at redating the US business cycles for the 1790–1928 period using the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) constructed by Johnson and Williamson (2007). We compare the alternative chronology with those of the NBER and Davis (2006) as well as Romer (1994) for...

This article extends earlier efforts at redating the US industrial cycles for the prewar period (1890–1938) using the methodologies proposed by Bry and Boschan (1971) and Hamilton (1989) and based on the monthly industrial production index constructed by Miron and Romer (1990). The alternative...

In this paper, infrequent large temporary and permanent shocks that have affected the quarterly GDP series for France, the United Kingdom and the United States are analyzed in the post World War II period using the outlier method. Strong proof of permanent and/or transitory shocks are found,...

This article extends earlier efforts at redating the US business cycles for the 1790-1928 period using the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) constructed by Johnson and Williamson (2008). The resulting chronology alters more than 50% percent of the peaks and troughs identified by the NBER and...
