Aspects of Canadian and US Business Cycles
نویسنده
چکیده
The Canadian and US economies, by many measures and along many dimensions, are highly integrated and, possibly as a result of this integration, have highly correlated business cycles. This paper examines various aspects of the co-movement between the two economies. One objective is to document the relationship between the two economies at an aggregate level and to examine how the relationship might have changed over time. A further objective is to explore the relationship at a more disaggregate level by examining the interaction of the two economies on a sectoral basis.
