Abstract: Changes in the seasonal patterns of macroeconomic time
series may be due to the effects of business cycle fluctuations or to
technological and institutional change or both. We examine the relative
importance of these two sources of change in seasonality for quarterly
industrial production series of the G7 countries. We find compelling
evidence that the effects of gradual institutional and technological change
are much more important than the effects attributable to the business
cycle.
