MASSIMO FRANCHI AND PAOLO PARUOLO PRELIMINARY VERSION Abstract. This paper presents an additive decomposition of the moving average representation of VAR processes into cyclical components. We give a de nition of cyclical component that encompasses seasonal components as well as (stationary) long-run and short-run uctuations. Each cyclical component is univariate and is characterized by a spect...

I study the cyclical behavior of an equilibrium search model with endogenous job creation and destruction, with focus on the model’s failure to match the observed cyclical volatility of unemployment. Job creation in the model is influenced by wages in new matches. I summarize microeconometric evidence on wages in new matches and show that the key model elasticities are consistent with the evide...

Can discrete, single-shot movements and continuous, cyclical movements be reduced to a single concept? In the classical, computational approach to human motor behaviour, cyclical aimed movement has general19 been considered to derive from discrete primitives through a concatenation mechanism. Much importance, accordingly, has been attached to discrete-movement paradigms and to techniques allowi...

Seven adult patients with cystic fibrosis who had radiological evidence of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy were reviewed. In five of the patients symptoms were particularly pronounced at times of acute infective exacerbations; appropriate treatment of the infective episodes resulted in reduction or resolution of the bone pain and joint effusions. Despite this symptomatic relief periosteal changes...
