International Business Cycle Co-Movements through Time: The Anglo-Saxon Experience

Dan Andrews and Marion Kohler

Applied Economics Quarterly (formerly: Konjunkturpolitik), 2009, vol. 55, issue 2, 147-172

Abstract: Over the past 40 years the business cycles of Anglo-Saxon countries have become more closely synchronized. This paper investigates whether the factors suggested for explaining cycle co-movements across countries can also explain changes through time. We find that most of the cross-sectional explanations – trade, industrial structure and relative market flexibility – can also explain changes through time. However, the size and sign of the impact vary across country pairs.
