Both from the conceptual point of view and its empirical recognition, there is no consensus regarding the causes and concrete forms of this characteristic of the economy. In particular, the statements regarding the existence of a long wave,  proposed by different authors  of the early twentieth century, are a source of debate. In this work we propose an empirical review of series traditionally used in economic anal- ysis, such as the product, wages, and gold, for the United States and the United Kingdom, from the 18th century to the present, using a tech- nique originally developed in the area of signal analysis. The objective  is to seek new evidence regarding the presence of a well-defined cycle in long periods of economic history. For this, we use Wavelets analysis in search of low-frequency signals, or long periods. The results show favor- able evidence to the existence of three distinct cycles, one of which would be of amplitude around 50 years. El desenvolvimiento cíclico de la economía es un tema de recurrente debate en la bibliografía especializada. Tanto desde el punto de vista conceptual como en el reconocimiento empírico, no existe un consenso generalizado respecto de las causas y formas concretas de esta caracte- rística de la economía. En particular, son fuente de debate las afirmacio- nes respecto a la existencia de ciclos definidos en períodos largos, pro- puestos por diferentes autores de principios del siglo XX. En el presente trabajo se propone una revisión empírica de series tradicionalmente uti- lizadas en el análisis económico, como lo son el producto, salario y oro, para Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido, desde el siglo XVIII a la actua- lidad, mediante una técnica originalmente desarrollada para el área de análisis de señales. El objetivo es buscar nuevas evidencias respecto a la presencia de un ciclo bien definido en períodos largos de la historia eco- nómica. Para esto, se utiliza el análisis de Wavelets en busca de señales de baja frecuencia, o períodos largos. Los resultados muestran evidencia favorable a la existencia de tres ciclos bien definidos, uno de los cuales sería de una amplitud en torno a los 50 años. text/html application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/CIMBAGE/article/view/1587 spa CIMBAGE - IADCOM - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas - Universidad de Buenos Aires https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/CIMBAGE/article/view/1587/2250 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/CIMBAGE/article/view/1587/2836 Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; Vol. 2 No. 21 (2019): Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; 173-200 Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; Vol. 2 Núm. 21 (2019): Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; 173-200 1669-1830 1666-5112 Wavelets Ciclo salario PBI Wavelets Cycle-Wage GDP Old series, new signals the economic cycle in light of wavelet analysis Viejas series, nuevas señales el ciclo económico a la luz del análisis de wavelets info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cimbage&d=1587_oai
