Growth Trends and Systematic Patterns of Booms and Busts‐Testing 200 Years of Business Cycle Dynamics

Abstract: We study the dynamic pattern of business cycles using US GDP data between 1790 and 2015. To address difficulties in trend and cycle decomposition, we introduce a semiparametric estimation approach with an iterative plug‐in (IPI) algorithm for endogenous bandwidth selection. This algorithm identifies continuously moving growth trends with trend‐supporting growth periods. A simulation study demonstrates the value‐added of our trend identification. Afterwards, nonlinear SETAR models are fitted parametrically. Fur… Show more

“…, T, x t = t/T denotes the rescaled time, m(x) is some smooth function and ξ t denotes a zero mean stationary process. Thus, a data-driven local polynomial estimator for the smooth trend function is used in line with [14] without any parametric assumptions on ξ t . Under the assumption of short-range dependence the authors use the following Equation (2) for estimating the trend m(x t ) by minimizing the locally weighted least squares:…”
