Abstract

[eng] International Comparisons of Business Cycles Monique Fouet I: Manufacturing output Theoretical and statistical choices must be made in order to describe business cycles. The present paper explains why it was decided here to define a cycle as the ratio «index/long term moving average». Such cycles are observed from the early 60s to the late 80s for 16 OECD countries. Anglo-saxon economies appear as the most cyclical countries. The sectorial breakdown of manufacturing output confirms the usual assumption that equipment goods behave in a more cyclical way than consumption goods. But it also clearly shows that equipment goods lag behind consumption goods by at least two quarters. [fre] Le présent article décrit les choix théoriques et statistiques qui fondent la méthode retenue ici pour décrire les cycles courts de l'activité économique: le cycle est conçu comme le rapport de l'indice à la tendance, celle-ci étant calculée par moyenne mobile. Ces cycles sont observés sur les décennies 60 à 80 pour 16 pays de l'OCDE. Des calculs de régularité inter et intra-cycles d'une part, d'intensité des cycles d'autre part, permettent de dresser une typologie des pays. Les économies anglo-saxonnes apparaissent comme nettement plus cycliques que les autres. La décomposition de la production manufacturière en trois secteurs confirme l'idée selon laquelle les biens d'équipement sont plus cycliques que les biens de consommation, mais meten lumière le retard systématique, atteignant plusieurs trimestres, des premiers sur les seconds.
