Abstract

Relatively little work has so far been done on the long-term dynamics and fluctuations of key economic indicators. This can be explained by the absence of reliable and comparable statistical data, and by the number of significant technical difficulties involved in attempting to isolate long economic cycles using short time series data (see Petzina and Roon, 1981).
