"The paper addresses selected methodological issues of the business cycle analysis. As the choice of detrending techniques significantly influences the analysis of the classical and growth business cycles, the impact of various techniques as well as the suitability of detrending filters in context of European area convergence analysis is examined. The paper evaluates characteristics of four selected filtering techniques widely used in the literature using current macroeconomic data of the EU countries. The appropriateness of the filters is examined according to the criteria of an ideal filter defined in the paper using the periodogram analysis. The main findings indicate the Christiano-Fitzgerald filter to fit the best to the ideal filter criteria." . "Issever Grochov\u00E1, Ladislava" .
