Peak
Expansion
Contraction
Trough
The business cycle is a period of
macroeconomic expansion followed by a
period of contraction. During the
expansion phase, a period of economic
growth as measured by a rise
in real GDP occurs. Once a peak is
reached, this is the height of the economic
expansion, when the real GDP stops
rising. Then a contraction occurs where
there is a decline marked by falling real
GDP. Which ends in an economic
trough, which is the lowest point in an
economic contraction, when the real GDP
stops falling.

Business Cycles
An economic
expansion is a
period of economic
growth measured by
a rise in real GDP. In
the expansion
phase, the economy
enjoys plentiful jobs,
a falling employment
rate, and business
prosperity
The peak is the
height of an
economic
expansion. This
is the point
when the real
GDP stops
rising.
If real GDP falls for
two consecutive
quarters, the
economy is said to
be in a recession.
A recession is a
prolonged
economic
contraction.
Contraction is
a period of
economic
decline
marked by
the falling
real GDP.
Unemployme
nt rises in this
period.
When a recession is
especially long and
severe, it can be
called a depression.
During a depression
there is high
unemployment and
low factory output.
In the trough
period the
economy bottoms
out. This is the
lowest point in an
economic
contraction, when
the real GDP stops
falling.
Stagflation occurs
when there is a
decline in real GDP
combined with a rise
in the price level.
