Tiivistelmä: | The duration dependence of business cycles is examined by using a Markov-switching model of postwar quarterly real GNP growth. It extends the Hamilton model and the duration-dependent model of Durland and McCurdy, and compares quite favorably to simpler models in out-of-sample forecasting. When an expansion begins, the probability of the expansion ending is 0.2, but is gradually decreased as the expansion ages. |
