Abstract

Recently, it has been shown that seasonal and business cylces are related and a similar economic mechanism is at work in producing both types of cycles. Thus, an analysis of seasonal fluctuations shed light on the nature of the businees cycle. This paper uses the LM-type tests proposed by Canova and Hansen (1995) to investigate seasonal behaviour in the unemployment series of Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the US and a number of OECD countries.
