The "Plucking Model" of Business Fluctuations Revisited

Milton Friedman

Economic Inquiry, 1993, vol. 31, issue 2, pages 171-77

Abstract: Some twenty-five years ago, the author suggested a model of business fluctuations that stresses occasional events producing contractions and subsequent revivals rather than a self-generating cyclical process. Evidence for the past quarter century, like evidence presented in the author's earlier paper for a longer period, supports the view that the model is a useful way to interpre t business fluctuations and has sufficiently important implications to justify further empirical work for both the United States and other countries.
