Long-Wave Research: New Results, New Departures — An Introduction

Alfred Kleinknecht

Chapter 1 in New Findings in Long-Wave Research, 1992, pp 1-12 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The alleged 45 to 60-year-long waves in economic growth are generally referred to as ‘Kondratieff long waves’, because of the prominent paper about them by Nikolai Kondratieff in 1926. Analytically more far-reaching contributions on long waves had been published earlier in the Netherlands, but these had only limited circulation owing to the language barrier. It would, in fact, be more appropriate to speak about ‘Van Gelderen-De Wolff long waves’ (see the survey in Kleinknecht, 1987a). However, in order to avoid confusion, we shall continue to use the well-established term ‘Kondratieff long waves’.
