0. IntroductionModern Approach to Business Cycles
I Equilibrium stochastic dynamic modeling in macro flowered inthe 1970’s
I At that point, postwar business cycles were at most 8 yearslong business cycles were defined as fluctuations atperiodicities of 8 years or less.
I Spectral densities of main macro variables were showing the“Typical Spectral Shape of an Economic Variable”(Granger 1969) look like a persistent AR(1) spectrum
I This suggested that business cycle theory should not be aboutcycles, it should be about co-movements (see Sargent’stextbook)

0. IntroductionWhat we do
I We question this focus in this workI We do three things
1. Show that the economy is “more cyclical than you think”, with40 more years of data.
2. Explain how “weak complementaries”, combined withaccumulation, favor cyclical behavior (recurrent booms andbusts) rather than indeterminacy
3. Estimate a New-Keynesian model extended to include the forcomplementarity forces we are highlighting, and see if the dataprefers a “recurring cycle approach”

1. Motivating FactsLooking for Peaks
I If there are important cyclical forces in the economy ...
I ... this should show up as a distinct peak in the spectrum ofthe data
I It is well known that (detrended) output data does not displaysuch peaks (Granger (1969), Sargent (1987))
I However, output data may not be best placed to look, asthere is a marked non stationarity that one needs to get rid of.
I May be better to look at measures of factor use: ex: hoursworked, employment rates, unemployment rates, capitalutilization.
I Things might also have changed since the 70’s as we havenow 40 more years of observation

I We restrict to symmetric allocationsI Two forces of determination of allocations:
× static strategic interactions “multipliers” (Cooper &John (1988)) local instability
× History (accumulated I that shows up in X ) affects allocationsthrough the intercept of the “best response” function global stability

2. General MechanismLooking for the limit cycle
I How do we prove the existence of a limit cyle?
I Limit cycles are typically ocurring when there are bifurcationsin non-linear dynamical systems
I Simply stated : the SS looses stability when a parameter (herethe degree of strategic complementarities) increases.

2. General MechanismStrategic substitutabilities – F ′ negative
Proposition 2
As F ′(I S) varies from 0 to −∞, the eigenvalues of M always staywithin the unit circle and therefore the system remains locallystable.

2. General MechanismBifurcations
I 3 types of bifurcation
× Fold bifurcation: appearance of an eigenvalue equal to 1,× Flip bifurcation: appearance of an eigenvalue equal to -1× Hopf bifurcation: appearance of two complex conjugate
eigenvalues of modulus 1.
I We are interested in Hopf bifurcation because the limit cyclewill be “persistent”

2. General MechanismBifurcations
Proposition 4
As F ′(I s) varies from 0 towards 1, the dynamic system will becomeunstable and:
I No flip bifurcations
I If α2 > α1/(2− δ)2, then a Hopf (Neimark-Sacker)bifurcation will occur.
I If α2 < α1/(2− δ)2, then a flip bifurcation will occur.

2. General MechanismBifurcations
I In the case of flip and Hopf bifurcation, a limit cycle appears
I In case of Hopf, the cycle is “smooth”
I Condition for an Hopf bifurcation:
Iit = α0 − α1Xit + α2Iit−1 + F
(∑Ijt

)
× as δ approaches 0, α2 > 1/4× in general, what is needed is δ not too large and α2 large

4.ConclusionI The dominant paradigm for explaining macro-economic
fluctuations focus on how different shocks perturb anotherwise stable system
I Such a perspective may be biased due to an excess focus onrather high frequency movements
I However, if we look at slightly lower frequencies – extendingfrom 32 to at least 40 quarters– there is strong signs ofcyclical behavior
I Contribution:
1. Shown that models with ’weak’ complementarities andaccumulation offer a promising framework to explain suchobservations. In particular, such framework can easily generatelimit cycles.
2. When extending a simple NK model to include these factorsand adopting a slightly lower frequency focus– 2-60 quarter–we find support for very strong endogenous cyclical mechanism.
I Would be interesting to extend such analysis to internationalcontext
