Abstract

[fre] Ce papier présente et commente les techniques descriptives d'analyse cyclique aujourd'hui utilisées par l'OCDE. L 'intérêt de ce corpus technique est double : la méthodologie en usage à l'OCDE, qui élargit et prolonge des techniques initialement développées par des auteurs américains du NBER (1), constitue une synthèse de travaux antérieurs, dont la tradition remonte jusqu'au début du siècle (2), et cette synthèse permet d'appliquer une méthode homogène à l'ensemble de la zone OCDE. On peut donc considérer cette méthodologie comme représentative de l'attitude pratique des conjoncturistes attentifs aux réalités cycliques et confrontés, en temps réel, à la caractéri- sation du moment du cycle en cours. Avant d'entrer dans la matière elle-même, l'introduction est consacrée à un énoncé rapide et interro- gatif des problèmes soulevés par la confrontation de cette tradition d'analyse cyclique et des nouvelles techniques d'analyse développées par l'économètrie des séries temporelles : il ne s'agit que d'un préambule pour un dialogue qui devrait être poursuivi et approfondi. [eng] Describing the Economic Cycle Jacky Fayolle This paper presents and comments the descriptive techniques currently used by the OECD in cyclical analysis. This set of techniques is interesting from at least two points of view. First, the methodology is based upon former research in the field, particularly that of the NBER, dating back to the beginning of the century; it synthesises and enlarges them. Second, this synthesis can be homogeneously applied to all OECD countries. Therefore, it can be considered as representative of the frame of mind of those economists who read the current economic developments as largely reflecting business cycles. The paper briefly starts by describing the questions raised by the confrontation of these traditional methods with the techniques recently developed in the field of time series'econometrics; this is only a first step in a dialogue that should go further on.
