Résumé anglais Economie Deviations and Growth in Six OECD Economies, by Jean Chateau and Pierre-Yves Hénin. A number of studies in recent years have broken down GDP into cyclical and growth components. Yet various questions have been raised about breakdowns made using a purely statistical approach. This article chooses to use the OECD breakdown between potential product and economic deviation in order to include it in bivariate modelling. The study proposes a statistical evaluation of GDP dynamics in six OECD economies as resulting from two orthogonal impulse sources: growth shocks and economic shocks, which are identified by the short- and long-run restrictions on their contributions within the framework of a semi-structural VAR. The results do not corroborate the Nelson and Plosser conclusion (1982), but rather support a dichotomous vision whereby growth impulses contribute very little to economic deviation.
