Trends and cycles in macro series: The case of US real GDP

Abstract: This paper proposes a new modeling framework capturing both the long-run and the cyclical components of a time series. As an illustration, we apply it to four US macro series, namely, annual and quarterly real gross domestic product (GDP) and GDP per capita. The results indicate that the behavior of US GDP can be captured accurately by a model incorporating both stochastic trends and stochastic cycles that allows for some degree of persistence in the data. Both appear to be mean reverting, although the stochas… Show more

“…Bäurle et al (2020) found that the factor model structure outperforms the benchmarks in most tests, and in many cases also the Bayesian vector autoregressive model (BVAR), and the analysis of the covariance matrix of the sectoral forecast errors suggests that the superiority can be traced back to the ability to capture sectoral co-movement more accurately. Caporale & Gil-Alana (2021) shows that the behaviour of US GDP can be captured accurately by a model incorporating both stochastic trends and stochastic cycles that allows for some degree of persistence in the data, both appear to be mean reverting, although the stochastic trend is nonstationary, while the cyclical component is stationary, with cycles repeating themselves every 6-10 years. Fatima et al (2020) results outline an intriguing indirect relationship between trade openness and GDP growth, if human capital accumulation (HCA) is taken into account as an intervening variable, trade may have a negative impact on GDP growth when countries exhibit a low level of HCA.…”
