Notes:
Summary In this paper a postwar business cycle chronology is established for the Netherlands. This chronology is based on 19 Dutch economic indicators. As a first step a deviation cycle is determined for each indicator. Next a reference cycle is dated, using the diffusion index method. Measured from trough to trough, the average length of 6 Dutch postwar business cycles has been 53 months, with the expansion phase averaging 29 months, and the contraction phase averaging 24 months.
