How distinct are financial cycles from business cycles?

Author

  • Rünstler, Gerhard

Abstract

One foundation for developing new macroprudential policy in addition to traditional macroeconomic stabilisation policy is that financial cycles differ from business cycles. This article identifies properties of credit and housing cycles, shows how they relate to GDP cycles, and compares the reliability of real-time estimates. JEL Classification: C32, E32, E44
