Abstract

[fre] Cet article compare les performances des filtres de Hodrick-Prescott et de Baxter-King avec une méthode de filtrage fondée sur les propriétés multi-résolution des ondelettes. Globalement, les trois méthodes restent comparables si la composante cyclique théorique est définie dans la bande de fréquences usuelle comprise entre six et trente-deux trimestres. Cependant, l’approche fondée sur les ondelettes fournit des informations supplémentaires sur le cycle des affaires (stabilité dans le temps…). Nos résultats s’appuient sur des expériences de Monte-Carlo. Notre méthode appliquée au PIB américain montre aussi que l’estimation de la composante du cycle économique fondée sur les taux de croissance est meilleure que celle déduite du PIB en niveau et apporte des éléments d’information sur la période de « grande modération » de l’après 1980. [eng] We compare the performance of Hodrick-Prescott and Baxter-King filters with a filtering method based on the multi-resolution properties of wavelets. We show that the three methods remain broadly comparable if the theoretical cyclical component is defined in the usual waveband, ranging between six and thirty-two quarters. However the wavelet-based approach provides additional information on the business cycle, such as its time stability. We apply our method – which is based on Monte Carlo simulation experiments – to U.S. GDP. We find that the estimate of the business-cycle component using growth-rate data is superior to the estimate using the GDP level ; it also provides fuller information on the “ Great Moderation ” period that began in the mid-1980s.
