Aim of thestudy • The existence of a significant relationship
Motivation • Fuzzy clusters
Empirical model - Method • Fuzzy cluster membershipdegree-Bezdek (1981) • 2 fuzzy clusters for trade and GDP- • Trade relevance:
Conclusions • business cycles synchronization by trade is a valid tool • business cycles synchronization can be regarded a function of time. Contributions • use of fuzzy cluster analysis based on the trade vector to assess business cycles synchronization, and second of all, • the method of analyzing differences between cluster membership degree calculated Limitations • data frequency
