Abstract
⺠I examine trend versus difference stationary Markov-switching models for US real GDP. ⺠The former captures the US business cycle features much better than the latter. ⺠Markov-switching unit root tests overwhelmingly accept the null of trend stationary. ⺠This reinforces the view that the effects of recessionary shocks are transitory.
