Abstract

As the world economic growth is experiencing its first synchronized recovery since the 2007-2008 financial crisis, it is time to investigate again the links between business cycle synchronization and financial openness. Would decreasing international capital movements attenuate co-movements between national cycles? An historical perspective on the matter shows that, contrary to the common wisdom, the periods of lower global financial integration were not associated with lower business cycle synchronization. À l’heure où s’annonce la première reprise synchronisée de la croissance mondiale depuis la crise financière de 2007-2008, il est naturel de s’interroger à nouveau sur les liens entre la synchronisation des cycles économiques et l’ouverture financière. Une baisse des flux de capitaux internationaux atténuerait-elle la synchronisation des cycles nationaux ? Une perspective historique montre que, contrairement à une idée reçue, les périodes de plus faible intégration financière mondiale n’ont pas été associées à un plus faible degré de synchronisation des cycles économiques.
