Abstract

El estudio de los ciclos económicos ha sido de gran interés desde su análisis formal a principios del siglo XX, no obstante no se ha producido un consenso entre los expertos en cuanto a su definición y a las técnicas de estimación de los mismos. Es por ello, que en este trabajo se presenta una revisión sobre la definición de los ciclos económicos, así como de sus características y la medición de las mismas. Por otro lado, se repasan las referencias sobre las técnicas empleadas para la extracción de los mismos, especialmente centrándonos en la estimación de los ciclos económicos internacionales en la que se emplean técnicas multivariantes complejas, sobre las cuales se ha abierto una vía de investigación con un interés cada vez mayor.
