This study analyzes the cyclical experience of the United States economy between 1946 and 1958, in an attempt to appraise the importance of the major forces which shaped that experience and to account for its principal features. The period is broadly interpreted in the light of the previous history of growth and fluctuation in the economy.

Early contributions were to the cjuantitativehistorical analysis of business cycles, long swings in growth, and the relationships between cyclical diffusion and the acceleration principle (1957-1963). Turned next to econometric analyses of investment behaviour, capacity utilisation and systems of factor demand and production functions (1964-1970). Thereafter pursued two parallel and continuing lines of research: (1) the Hickman-Coen annual growth model of the United States economy (combining neoclassical growth theory and Keynesian effective demand theory).
(2) the international transmission of economic fluctuations, as a founding member of Project LINK and through specific studies of matrix models of world trade and international income and price multipliers (1970-1983). Finally, have organised several comparative studies of structures and properties of United States national and of global multinational econometric models.
