This paper analyses whether and since when East and West German business cycles are synchronised. We investigate real GDP unemployment rates and survey data as business cycle indicators and employ several empirical methods. Overall we find that the regional business cycles have synchronised over time. GDP-based indicators and survey data show a higher degree of synchronisation than the indicators based on unemployment rates. However recently synchronisation among East and West German business cycles seems to become weaker in line with international evidence.
