Zusammenfassung:The economies of Central America share a close relationship with the United States, with considerable comovement of GDP growth over a long period of time.

Using the common cycles method of Vahid and Engle (1993), this paper suggests that the business cycle is dominated by the U.S.; region-specific growth drivers tend to be long-lasting shocks, rather than temporary fluctuations. The most cyclically sensitive countries include Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Honduras
