Rostow's Kondratieff Cycle in Australia
运用罗斯托的理论，强调食品和原材料出口国的作用，考察澳大利亚过去110年的长波，发现康德拉季耶夫周期的存在未被证实，且罗斯托的周期机制对澳大利亚经济波动的解释存疑。
The turn of economic events in the early 1970s correlates with a revival of ideas about the existence of long swings in economic development. The subject of Kondratieff cycles has attracted the pens of social scientists of very different persuasions. This paper draws on Walt W. Rostow's interpretation—with its emphasis on the role of exporters of food and raw materials in the world economy—to explore Australian long waves over the last 110 years. I conclude that the case for their existence is not confirmed and moreover that Rostow's cycle-mechanics offer a doubtful explication of movements in the Australian series.
