Resumo: The current paper reviews and discusses some of the constitutive trends in long-wave analysis and namely the methods employed in order to establish or to demonstrate the cyclical pattern or the recurrence of long term fluctuations. The traditional antinomy between trend and cycle, as well as the double decomposition method it implies, are criticised and refuted Some analyses of the frequency domain are also discussed The paper suggest that new avenues for research are opened by the desirable alliance between the complexity approach and historical methods, and that the use of nonparametric statistical and dynamic methods are necessary conditions for the inquiry about evolution and change -and that is what the Long Waves research program is about.

A antinomia tradicional entre tendência e ciclo, tal como o método de dupla decomposição que implica são criticados e rejeitados. São ainda discutidas algumas análises do domínio das frequências. O artigo sugere que são necessários novos caminhos de investigação, tais como os abertos pela aliança necessária entre a abordagem da complexidade e os métodos históricos, e que o uso de estatísticas não-paramétricas e de métodos dinâmicos são condições necessárias para a investigação acerca da evolução e da mudança - e esse e o objecto do programa de investigação sobre as ondas longas.ISEG - Departamento de EconomiaRepositório da Universidade de LisboaLouçã, Francisco2021-12-13T11:44:55Z19971997-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/22706engLouçã, Francisco. 1997.
