Theory Ahead of Business Cycle Measurement
Economists have long been puzzled by the observations that during peacetime industrial market economies display recurrent, large fluctuations in output and employment over relatively short time periods. Not uncommon are changes as large as 10 percent within only a couple of years. These observations are considered puzzling because the associated movements in labor's marginal product are small. ...

متن کاملBusiness Cycle Theory and Econometrics
We outline in turn criticisms made by econometricians of the methods used in empirical business-cycle research and then criticisms made by business-cycle researchers of some methods used by econometricians. The aim is to clarify and in some cases correct these criticisms. Overall there is no conflict in using rigourous statistical procedures to study modern dynamic stochastic general equilibriu...
متن کاملA Generalized Method for Business Cycle Measurement
We develop a generalized method for business cycle measurements that delivers commonly employed detrending filters as special cases. The method relies on the time series representation of the data. Other equivalent techniques include Kalman Filter, and Wiener-Kolmogorov filter, which requires forecasting and backcasting of the data for unknown dates. Our formulation is simpler than Kalman Filte...
متن کاملChoice and Process: Theory Ahead of Measurement∗ Jess Benhabib NYU
Are models and data on choice processes useful as a complement to revealed preferences in decision theory? We answer this methodological question in the affirmative. We also argue, however, that progress in neuroeconomics is likely to require relying more clearly on structural empirical methods. We illustrate our arguments by means of examples from inter-temporal decision theory. ∗Many of the i...
