520 _aUsing quarterly data for a panel of advanced economies, we show that synchronized fiscal consolidation (stimulus) programmes in different countries make their business cycles more closely linked. We also find: (i) some evidence of decoupling when an inflation targeting regime is unilaterally adopted; (ii)an increase in business cycle synchronization when countries fix their exchangerates and become members of a monetary union; (iii) a positive effect of bilateral trade on the synchronizationof business cycles. Global factors, such as a rise in global risk aversion and uncertainty anda reversal of nonstandard expansionary monetary policy, can also reduce the degree of co-movementof businesscycles across countries. From a policy perspective, our work shows that an inflation targeting regime coupled with simultaneous fiscal consolidations can lead to more business cycle synchronization.
