Are Canadian Regional Business Cycles All Alike?

No 0310E, Working Papers from University of Ottawa, Department of Economics

Abstract: Using three different econometric methodologies, this paper identifies business cycles fluctuations in Canadian regions using quarterly real GDP for the period 1961:1 - 2000:1. With the estimates of the transitory and permanent components, as well as filtered and smoothed probabilities of being in times of recession, a chronology for the regional business cycles fluctuations is presented. For the purpose of comparison, results for Canada and the US are also included. Lastly, evidence about correlations between different business cycles is also presented.
