• Common Trends and Common Cycles in Canadian Sectoral Output

  Staff Working Paper 2003-44 Francisco Barillas, Christoph Schleicher

  The authors examine evidence of long- and short-run co-movement in Canadian sectoral output data. Their framework builds on a vector-error-correction representation that allows them to test for and compute full-information maximum-likelihood estimates of models with codependent cycle restrictions.

• An Introduction to Wavelets for Economists

  Staff Working Paper 2002-3 Christoph Schleicher

  Wavelets are mathematical expansions that transform data from the time domain into different layers of frequency levels. Compared to standard Fourier analysis, they have the advantage of being localized both in time and in the frequency domain, and enable the researcher to observe and analyze data at different scales.
