Abstract
⺠We model the links between interest rates, output, asset prices and credit in the US. ⺠We use a multivariate unobserved components model with cycles and phase-shifts. ⺠We find that the longer-run cyclical components of the variables are concurrent. ⺠At the business cycle frequency, output and asset prices lead interest rate and credit.
