摘要:Within the framework of Keynesian economic theory it is widely
taken for granted that short term output
uctuations are mirrored
in corresponding
uctuations in prices. By examining data on prices
and output for a small open raw material based economy, in this case
Norway, 1830-2006, this paper concludes that there isn't a clear pos-
itive correlation between prices and output. Contrary, there is more
evidence of a counter-cyclical relationship, indicating that business cy-
cles are more frequently caused by supply-side shocks than demand
side shocks. However, negative demand shocks normally seem to cause
lagged negative price responses.
