Moore Inthe sixty years of its existence, the National Bureau of Economic Research has been continuously engaged in studies of business cycles. Among the most widely used results of that program are the chro- nologies of periods of general economic expansion and contraction in the United States and several other countries. These are lists of an- nual, quarterly, and monthly dates that mark the peaks (signaling the start of recessions) and troughs (which signal the beginning of recov- eries). For the United States, England, France, and Germany, these "reference chronologies" extend back more than 130 years. The following is a brief report on the most recent NBER work in this area. On June 3, 1980, the Bureau's Committee on Business Cycle Dating issued a statement identifying January 1980 as the lat- est peak in the sequence of U.S. business cycles.' At the time no cyclical peak in real GNP had yet been recorded; indeed, that series had continued to increase to the first quarter of the year (1980:1).
