Abstract

This article presents a characterization of Argentina’s GDP cycles of the last four decades. The cycle extraction strategy follows two well-known complementary approaches: the classic and the growth cycle (the later using four alternative filters from the frequency domain theory). A novel approach of this paper was the building of a combined index of the different methods included in the growth cycle approach. The results show similar conclusions from both approaches in terms of a) the number of cycles; b) the duration of the cycles; c) the prevalence of expansions to contractions’ duration; d) the synchronicity of the different cycles; and, e) the ordinal intensity ranking of the different phases.
