Abstract

This paper is an empirical analysis of the role of business confidence indicators as international business cycle channel of transmission between Germany and the United States. Business confidence indicators are considered expectations of the level of economic activity. The analysis finds that the business cycle of Germany is positively affected by the expectations of economic activity in United States. Therefore, business confidence indicators can be considered as an important non-trade channel of transmission of the business cycle between the two countries.
