Measuring Business Cycles: The Case of Slovenia

Eastern European Economics, 2002, vol. 40, issue 1, 63-87

Abstract: In this article, spectral analysis is used to study cyclic patterns in the Slovene economy. We examine whether the transition in Slovenia was marked by a statistically significant movement of aggregate economic activity, which corresponds to the definition of the business cycle proposed by Burns and Mitchell. We find that in the period 1992-2000 a statistically significant cyclic component is present. The cyclic component oscillates at the frequency of 33.3 months. The results obtained here suggest that two full-length cycles can be identified in the period under observation.
