Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are the recurring recessions of the capitalist world merely short-term adjustments to changing economic circumstances in a system that tends, in general, toward equilibrium? In this accessible study of the business cycle, Howard Sherman makes a powerful case that recessions and painful involuntary unemployment are endogenous to capitalism. Drawing especially on the work of Wesley Clair Mitchell, Karl Marx, and John M. Keynes, Sherman explains why the nature of the business cycle produces serious economic loss and misery during its contraction phase, just as it produces growth in its expansion phase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While so many have failed at predicting recessions and recoveries in the economy in the past, what makes the predictions of the ECRI so different in their uncanny accuracy. Among many other turns in the economy, the institute successfully predicted the U.S. recession of 2001 six months before the economists did; the U.S. recession of 1991 five months in advance, and most recently, the weak U.S. recovery in 2002. In constant demand in the media, the ECRI has been called the secret weapono of companies both large and small, from the major fund managers and the central banks to Alan Greenspan himself. CYCLES OF CERTAINTY is the first book to reveal how managers, small business owners, and individuals can peer into the economy's future in making key decisions. By knowing whether the economy will contract or expand, a large company can better know whether to search out new clients and build new factories if the economy is growing, or consider cost cutting and layoffs in a looming recession. But CYCLES OF CERTAINTY isn't aimed just at Fortune 500 managers. The advice it offers applies just as strongly to small businesses and individuals, as well. Should the owners of a small laundromat open a second shop or sit tight? Is now a good time to consider changing careers, or going back to school? What about that new house you were considering is it the right time to buy, or should you hold off? Written in an easy-to-understand, accessible style, CYCLES OF CERTAINTY shows how anyone can adopt a business-cycleo mind-set, providing readers with the specific advice they need to check the key leading indicators, and apply that to their business, job, or major life decision.

Download or read book Hysteresis and Business Cycles written by Ms.Valerie Cerra and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economic growth and business cycles have been treated independently. However, the dependence of GDP levels on its history of shocks, what economists refer to as “hysteresis,” argues for unifying the analysis of growth and cycles. In this paper, we review the recent empirical and theoretical literature that motivate this paradigm shift. The renewed interest in hysteresis has been sparked by the persistence of the Global Financial Crisis and fears of a slow recovery from the Covid-19 crisis. The findings of the recent literature have far-reaching conceptual and policy implications. In recessions, monetary and fiscal policies need to be more active to avoid the permanent scars of a downturn. And in good times, running a high-pressure economy could have permanent positive effects.

Download or read book The Well Timed Strategy written by Peter Navarro and published by Pearson Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2006-01-13 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most companies ignore one of their best opportunities for honing competitive advantage: the opportunity to proactively manage business cycles and macroeconomic turbulence. Despite the profound impact that the business cycle has on the fortunes and fate of so many businesses large and small--and the employees and investors that depend on them--not fa single book offers a comprehensive guide to strategically and tactically managing the business cycle. The Well-Timed Strategy shows how to manage not just the business cycle and industry cycles but also today's unprecedented level of macroeconomic turbulence. Peter Navarro shows how to align every facet of business strategy, tactics, and operations to reflect changing business conditions. Drawing on hundreds of examples, Navarro distills clear, simple management principles for managing economic upswings and downswings. Navarro addresses everything from inventory, production, and supply chain management to marketing, pricing, and long-term capital investment. Navarro presents examples from around the globe, ranging from Broadcom and Cemex to Paccar and Xilinx Chinese real estate developers to U.S. small caps. Clear, concise, and exceptionally readable, The Well-Timed Strategy makes complex macroeconomic forecasting easy to understand -- and even easier to act upon. Publisher's note - in this book various quotes and viewpoints are attributed to a 'Ron Vara'. Ron Vara is not an actual person, but rather an alias created by Peter Navarro in order to present his views and opinions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowcasting The Business Cycle presents a practical guide for analyzing recession risk—the primary risk factor that drives success and failure in business, finance, wealth management, and so much more. Whether you're an individual investor watching over your retirement account; the owner of a small business; a manager running a billion-dollar pension fund; or a CEO in charge of a global corporation, a large portion of triumph and defeat is closely linked with the broad swings in the economy. The business cycle, in other words, is the mother of all known (and recurring) risk factors. Accordingly, developing a process for assessing the likelihood of this threat is critical. Everyone needs a reliable, timely warning system that's relatively uncomplicated and transparent. Drawing on economic theory and macro's historical record, Nowcasting The Business Cycle outlines a simple but effective model for identifying those times when a new recession has probably started. This isn't forecasting, which is a fool's errand when it comes to the economy. Instead, the goal is recognizing when a majority of key indicators have already reached a tipping point. That may sound like a trivial advantage, but most people—including many economists—don't fully recognize when a recession has begun until the deterioration is obvious. By that point, the opportunity has probably passed for taking defensive measures in your investment portfolio, your business, or your career. The real challenge is less about predicting and more about developing solid intuition for recognizing when the macro threat is exceptionally high. Even a small degree of progress here can provide a considerable boost to your strategic insight. If we can learn the techniques for recognizing a cyclical downturn's presence relatively early—soon after it's begun, or just as it's starting—we'll have an advantage that tends to elude most folks. Nowcasting The Business Cycle provides a roadmap for ensuring that you won't be caught by surprise when the next recession strikes. That's a crucial advantage for one powerful reason: There's always another recession coming.

Download or read book The Business Cycle Theories and Evidence written by M.T. Belongia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings, from a conference held at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis on October 17-18, 1991, attempted to layout what we currently know about aggregate economic fluctuations. Identifying what we know inevitably reveals what we do not know about such fluctuations as well. From the vantage point of where the conference's participants view our current understanding to be, these proceedings can be seen as suggesting an agenda for further research. The conference was divided into five sections. It began with the formu lation of an empirical definition of the "business cycle" and a recitation of the stylized facts that must be explained by any theory that purports to capture the business cycle's essence. After outlining the historical develop ment and key features of the current "theories" of business cycles, the conference evaluated these theories on the basis of their ability to explain the facts. Included in this evaluation was a discussion of whether (and how) the competing theories could be distinguished empirically. The conference then examined the implications for policy of what is known and not known about business cycles. A panel discussion closed the conference, high lighting important unresolved theoretical and empirical issues that should be taken up in future business cycle research. What Is a Business Cycle? Before gaining a genuine understanding of business cycles, economists must agree and be clear about what they mean when they refer to the cycle.
Download or read book The Business Cycle written by Ronald J Szary and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Business cycle involves many components that include past and present theories and models put forth by economists throughout history. This book summarizes the extent of the components which make up the subject. The book is divided into six parts: Part I defines the business cycle through theoretical and historical perspectives. It addresses business cycle theory, Keynesian theory, credit/debt cycles, Austrian theory, liquidity, illiquidity, and solvency. Part II continues with business cycle theory, Lutz and the equilibrium theory, Austrian business cycle theory, money, credit, and loan cycles, micro-economic fluctuations, trade and inequality, case studies, and wealth inequality. Part III addresses business cycle mechanics in the form of financial cycles, asymmetric business cycles, noninflationary demand driven cycles, perception driven fluctuations, a new Keynesian model before moving into behavioral economics. Part IV begins discussion of behavioral economics and animal spirits, including behavioral finance, economic reasoning in non human animals, animal spirits and the optimal level of the inflationary target, credit cycles, and animal spirit derived business cycles. Part V presents business cycle amendments in the form of investment, asset class performance, merits of business cycle approach, and deciphering the liquidity and credit crunch. Finally, Part VI discusses fiscal outlook in the form of macro-economical challenges, liquidity risk management, the role of monetary and fiscal policy, and fiscal policy in a depressed economy.

Download or read book Cyclical Productivity in US Manufacturing RLE Business Cycles written by Miguel Jimenez and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents several pieces of empirical work which disentangle why the standard measure of productivity growth used in macroeconomics turn out to be procyclical for American manufacturing industries. Procyclical productivity is an essential feature of business cycles because of its important implications for macroeconomic modelling. The author explains why traditional Keynesian theories of the business cycle do not explain satisfactorily why productivity is procyclical, and argues that the force of technology for generating economic cycles is much more important than that of the management or mismanagement of monetary or fiscal policies. This book is aimed at those working in empirical macroeconomics but also industrial economics.
