Goal 7: Economics The Business Cycle

Business Cycle Business cycle = economic pattern where econ goes through good & bad times Common in free markets Phases of the BC: Recovery/expansion: general increase in bus. act. Peak/boom: econ operating at high level Contraction: general decline in bus. activity Recession: econ in decline for a per. of 6 mo

Business Cycle Phases continued… Trough: econ at lowest point; it’ll begin expansion Depression: extended period of contraction; very low trough w/ very high unemployment

Business Cycle & Economic Probs When econ booming the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increases GDP = total amt of goods/serv produced by a country in 1 year Economic problems: Inflation: rise in the price/costs of goods/services Caused by too much $ in circulation/society Costs of doing bus / cost of production goes up & prices rise

The Great Depression Probs began Oct. 1929 w/ stock market crash Banks failed Ppl lost savings Decline in production Businesses closed Farms fail High unemployment High home loss Lasted 10 years

Government Response Govt stepped in to create more jobs / fix econ FDR – the New Deal WPA: Works Progress/Project Administration FDIC – Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation SEC – Securities and Exchange Commission Social Security System

Predicting the Business Cycle 3 types of indicators: Leading – make predictions about future of econ come before major changes in bc Ex: increase in # of building permits Coincident – shows how econ is doing at present time & tells if upturn/downturn is coming Ex: if there’s an increase in ppl’s income Lagging – helps tell how long current phase of bc will last comes after major changes in bc Ex: increase in new businesses

Influences on Economy Business investment Money & credit - availability Public opinion – expectations of econ International events Availability of resources Human resources = labor Location/mvmt of resources Outsourcing of jobs (China) / foreign labor Unexpected events 9/11: NYC bus, airline industry; weakened econ Hurricane Katrina: ports, imports/exports, oil/gas; higher prices
