Abstract: The Austrian approach to business cycles has seldom examined in econometrical terms. This paper first reviews the essentials of that approach and the recent application of the Austrian business cycle theory in the economics literature. Quarterly data for Germany, USA, England and France, 1980 : 1 through 2006 : 1, are used to explore business cycle facts and relations between terms structure of interest rates relative prices, composition of aggregate expenditure and income. Results are consistent with the hypothesis of the Austrian Business Cycle Theory caused by a monetary shock and propagated by relative price changes.
