Modeling Cyclical Asymmetries in GDP: International Evidence

José Cancelo and Estefanía Mourelle

Atlantic Economic Journal, 2005, vol. 33, issue 3, 297-309

Abstract: This paper models asymmetric behavior in GDP growth in the USA, Germany, France, and Japan. It develops smooth transition autoregressive models and interprets nonlinear dynamics in terms of cyclical asymmetries. A procedure for defining data-based, qualitative cyclical regimes from the estimated models is proposed, and generalized impulse response functions are computed to assess to what extent the response to a shock changes over different phases of the cycle.
