| | Business cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cycles between 1945 and the 1990s in the United States were generally more restrained and followed political factors, such as fiscal policy and monetary policy. | | | Business cycle theory has been most effective in microeconomics where it aids in the preparation of risk management scenarios and timing investment, especially in infrastructural capital that must pay for itself over a long period, and which must fund itself by cashflow in late years. | | | The partisan business cycle suggests that cycles result from the successive elections of administrations with different policy regimes. |

| | How the Business Cycle Happens - Mises Institute |
| | Business accounting records the value of assets at their original cost. | | | What matters for business is not the general behavior of prices, but the price differentials between selling prices and costs (the "natural rate of interest"). | | | During an inflation, therefore, business "profits" are greatly overstated, and consumption is greater than it would be if the accounting illusion were not operating — perhaps capital is even consumed without the individual's knowledge. |

| | It is not unreasonable to suppose, moreover, that sophisticated home owners and business enterprises that refinance outstanding debt will use a portion of the savings to purchase stock at bargain prices, rather than increase their consumption or investment in new goods and services. | | | Changes in business inventories are another volatile component of GDP that have been closely linked to recessions. | | | The industrial recession which began in October 2000 was triggered in part by an unsustainable increase in spending by business enterprises for new computers and software. |

| | Real business cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Therefore, the main conclusion of this model is that business cycles are entirely consistent with the efficient workings of a market economy; the movements of the economy are always Pareto efficient. | | | Several people have tried to add in a money component of real business cycles, but there has been little agreement. | | | Despite all these criticisms, the validity of the underlying modeling approach has become an accepted standard for theoretical academic economists. |

| | Business Cycle |
| | In the revival stage of the business cycle, consumers start to feel more confident that the worst is behind them and they start to spend again. | | | In the expansion stage of the business cycle, the revival continues and many more businesses benefit from a good economy--not just a few businesses in specific industries. | | | The economy flows through the four sections of this business cycle and the way this happens is worthy of an explanation. |

| | Why Business Cycle Theory Matters - Mises Institute |
| | The former view—that business cycles are unavoidable natural occurrences—assumes that individuals and business firms have no way of predicting what will happen (in general) during the boom/bust cycle, or have no way to protect their assets even if they recognize the problem. | | | A business that is hit hard during a recession is not unlike a business whose building is flattened by a tornado. | | | As I work through the various case studies in which bad business decisions were exacerbated by overall economic downturns, I ask whether or not the knowledge of an Austrian view of business cycles would be useful for business decision makers. |

| | The Business Cycle |
| | Because the business cycle is related to aggregate economic activity, a popular indicator of the business cycle in the U.S. is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). | | | However, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) weighs GDP relatively low as a primary business cycle indicator because GDP is subject to frequent revision and it is reported only on a quarterly basis (the business cycle is tracked on a monthly basis). | | | Whether the business cycle really has declined in severity is a question that remains open to debate. |

| | BUSINESS CYCLE THEORY |
| | Other significant aspects of the Austrian theory of the business cycle can be identified only after the simple concept of investment reflected in Figures 1(a) and 1(b) is replaced by the Austrian vision of a multi-stage, time-consuming production process. | | | Each figure represents a state of equilibrium in the loan market: the market-clearing rate of interest is i, as shown on the vertical axis; the amount of income saved and borrowed for investment purposes is A, as shown on the horizontal axis. | | | As a result of the increased availability of loanable funds, the rate of interest falls from i to i', enticing businesses to undertake investment projects previously considered unprofitable. |

| | For the United States, applications to the Great Depression and the 1982 recession reveal that models with frictions which work as investment wedges are not a promising way to study business cycles. | | | Wedges corresponding to these variables - efficiency, labor, investment, and government consumption wedges - are measured with data and then fed back into the model in order to assess the fraction of various fluctuations accounted for by the wedges. | | | For the Depression, the efficiency and labor wedges together account for essentially all of the fluctuations; for the 1982 recession, only the efficiency wedge matters. |
