Abstract
We apply the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) and Beveridge-Nelson (BN) business cycle decomposition methods to a time series of homicides in Colombia (1946-1999). Separating out "permanent" from "cyclical" murder, we hypothesize that the cyclical part coincides with the periodic political unrest in the country. The results show a good match between the political events in the country and the computed cyclical murder component.
