3. ο The term business cycle refers to
economy-wide fluctuations in production
or economic activity over several
months or years.
ο These fluctuations occur around a long-
term growth trend, and typically involve
shifts over time between periods of
relatively rapid economic growth (
boom), and periods of relative
stagnation or decline (recession).
4. ο Business cycles are usually measured
by considering the growth rate of real
gross domestic product.
ο Despite being termed cycles, these
fluctuations in economic activity do not
follow a mechanical or predictable
periodic pattern
