Synopsis

Discover how long-term memory shapes the business cycle and what it means for forecasting.

This book examines whether aggregate output shows lasting memory or if fluctuations fade quickly, offering a clear view of competing theories and new statistical tests for long-run dependence.

The work blends theory and practical analysis, showing how fractionally integrated models can capture patterns that standard approaches miss. It also demonstrates how these ideas affect the interpretation of cycles, trends, and shocks in real-world data.
  • Learn how long-memory processes differ from traditional random walks and white noise.
  • See how fractional differencing and related statistics help detect persistent effects in time series.
  • Explore how these concepts influence macroeconomic forecasting and model selection.
  • Understand the limitations of common methods and when specialized tests are needed.
Ideal for readers of macroeconomics, time series analysis, and forecasting who want a rigorous yet accessible look at long-run dependence in economic data.
