(1980). In this paper, we test for three types of asymmetry: steepness, deepness and sharpness, using the new parametric tests of Clements and Krolzig (2003), in the real GDP of six countries, corresponding to four major economies (U.S., U.K., Japan and Germany) and two small open economies increasingly cited in the literature, Australia and New Zealand. Comparing the Triples test results, corrected for autocorrelation, to Clements and Krolzig's methodology, parametric tests provide stronger evidence of international business cycle asymmetries. ©2011 Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co.
