Original Abstract

We propose novel methodological approach to identify sectoral specialization in terms of economic cycle synchronization. We use dynamic measurement of comovement via lagged dynamic correlation and its variability. For the empirical evidence we use data of Visegrads countries, Germany and the euro area. The results are discussed in the context of Krugman specialization hypothesis. Our findings show higher specialization of countries which have significant comovements with high variability of dynamic correlation.
