| Abstract: | This paper investigates whether multi-country international business models can account for international comovements. In the OECD there are substantial positive comovements between many output components, between level of employment, and between total factor productivities. The standard international business cycle model is not consistent with these comovements. Except for consumption levels, the model implies either negative or very low comovements. This is a robust feature of the theoretical models independently of specific parameter values. |
