Abstract:   (4609 Views)
In this Paper, business cycle asymmetry in Iran has been investigated using a nonlinear unobserved component model. In this regard, according to Kim and Nelson's (1999) interpretation of Friedman plucking model (1993), asymmetric transitory component has been modeled and simultaneously the possibility of a correlation between transitory and permanent shocks has also been considered. The results confirm weakly the asymmetric transitory shocks and the ceiling level for output according to Friedman’s model. In addition, it is also suggested by the results that ignoring the correlation between shocks underestimates the importance of permanent shocks to GDP. 
Keywords: Business cycles, Permanent shocks, transitory Shocks, Unobserved component, Markov Swiching
