The objective of this paper is to identify Kondratieff cycles in the developed economies. Time series spectral analysis of real per capita GDP of the developed countries and Brazil is performed. Also studied are time series for the period from the 19th century to 2008. As a result Kondratieff cycles (waves) are found out in the economic dynamics of all the countries surveyed, except for Finland. The power of Kondratieff cycles in the economic dynamics is estimated to fall in the range of 23 to 61% of the total power of all economic cycles with the periods of 2 to 100 years. The Kondratieff cycles can be found in a number of economies in the period of 19th — 20th centuries. It allows to distinguish the three moderntime Kondratieff waves in the said countries and to evaluate productivity of the fourth, the fifth and the sixth technological modes in their economies. However in a number of countries the Kondratieff cycles show up only in the 20th century. So for these countries only one or two modern Kondratieff waves can be clearly identified, making it possible to evaluate productivity of only the fifth and the sixth technological modes in their economies.

Введение
Цель настоящей работы — идентификация циклов Кондратьева в экономике развитых стран, оценка их мощности XIX и XX в. и получение, таким образом, основы для периодизации зарождения и распространения современных технологических укладов в экономике наиболее развитых стран.
Н. Кондратьев в 1920-е гг. обратил внимание на то, что в долгосрочной динамике некоторых экономических индикаторов наблюдается цикличность с периодом порядка 50 лет. В дальнейшем было выполнено большое количество исследований долгосрочных колебаний с периодом порядка 50 лет. Экономисты и статистики пытались вывить циклы Кондратьева в динамике экономических индикаторов отдельных стран и мировой экономики. Во многих работах с использованием методов спектрального анализа удавалось выделить циклы Кондратьева. Примерами могут служить работы: Gordon, 1978; Mandel, 1980; Van Ewijk, 1982; Cleary, Hobbs, 1983; Berry, 1991. При этом ряд работ не подтвердил наличие циклов Кондратьева в мировой экономической динамике. Примерами могут служить следующие работы: Van der Zwan, 1980; Chase-Dunn, Grimes, 1995.
