Abstract

[eng] The purpose of this article is to establish the statistical characteristics of main macroeconomic indicators of the four major European countries : Germany, France, Italy and the UK. The data considered are quarterly and the period is 1960-1988. . The analysis concentrates on the nature of the trend component of these series and distinguishes between trends in mean and in variance. Additionally, it examines whether the same indicators have evolved along a common path (cointegration) in the different countries examined. The conclusions are the following. All series are characterized by trends in variance and most of them have a trend in mean as well. Generally, there is no long-run common path for different series across different countries. Exceptions are industrial production and real GDP. Further investigation of characteristics of data of the industrial sector indicate the presence of large unfrequent shocks at dates which are not synchronized across countries. The results indicate that the adjustment process to shocks as well as the pattern of growth has varied across countries, which implies that coordination policies should be considered with caution.

L'analyse est centrée sur l'étude de la nature des composantes tendancielles de ces séries et distingue le trend de la moyenne de celui de la variance. De plus, on s'efforce de déterminer si les indicateurs ont évolué le long du même sentier de croissance (co-intégration) dans les différents pays étudiés. . Les conclusions sont les suivantes. Les séries sont toutes caractérisées par un trend de la variance et la plupart par un trend de la moyenne. Dans chaque pays les différentes séries ne suivent en général pas un sentier commun à long terme, exception faite de la production industrielle et du PNB réel. Une
