Markov switching model, crude oil prices, business cycle, price cycleAbstract
The main purpose of the paper is to study the degree to which the Brent crude oil price cycle is correlated and synchronized with business cycle in a set of chosen Central Eastern European (CEE) economies. To indentify the oil price cycle and business cycles for chosen individual countries the Markov-switching autoregressive model (MS-AR) is used. The identification of the smoothed probabilities of being in regime 1 and regime 2 enables the calculation of correlation coefficients between those probabilities and the concordance index to evaluate the synchronization of oil price cycle and business cycles for the CEE economies.
