Business Cycle & Causes of Economic Fluctuations
![Page 2: Topic 8 - Business Cycle & Economic Fluctuations](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f0c6471a28ab6c608b457b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Business cycle refers to wave-like fluctuations in aggregate economic activities i.e. national income, employment and output.
It is composed of periods of good trade with rising prices and low unemployment percentages and followed by periods of bad trade with falling prices and high unemployment percentages.
BUSINESS CYCLE
What is a business cycle?

PEAK OR BOOM Maximum output, business activity at maximum
level. Lowest unemployment rate, full or nearly full
employment Price level likely to rise

PEAK
RECESSION Contractionary phase – decline in the GDP,
total output, income, trade volume and price level
Unemployment rate increases, a deep and long recession is known as depression.
TROUGH The period where the GDP and
output is at the minimum level. Unemployment rate is its
maximum. RECOVERY Expansionary phase - GDP
output and price level increase.
Unemployment rate decline.

SPENDING & MACROECONOMIC ACTIVITY
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOTAL SPENDING & BUSINESS CYCLE
Total /aggregate spending refers to total of combined spending by all units in the economy (households, businesses, government, foreign sectors) for new goods & services

HOUSEHOLD SECTOR
Household Sector & the Circular FlowIncome-Determined Spending - Household spending on new goods and services using income earned from providing resources to producers. Flow (1) and (2).
Household Spending, Borrowing, Transfers, Saving, and Taxes

HOUSEHOLD SECTOR
• Personal Consumption Expenditures
Household spending on new goods and services.
• Transfer Payments
Money from the government for which no direct work is performed in return.
• Non income-Determined Spending
Spending that is not generated from household earned income.
![Page 11: Topic 8 - Business Cycle & Economic Fluctuations](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f0c6471a28ab6c608b457b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HOUSEHOLD SECTOR
• Injections into the Spending Stream
Spending that comes from a source other than household earned income.
• Leakages from the Spending Stream
Uses for earned income other than spending, such as taxes and saving.

Saving-Borrowing RelationshipRelationship between the amount saved by households & businesses, and the amount returned to the spending stream through households & businesses borrowing.
• Financial Institution** Important for the investment borrowing and business savings for holding of the deposits

Saving-Borrowing RelationshipFunds saved by households and businesses are
the leakages from the spending streamFinancial institutions change the leakages into
injection through giving of borrowingAmount saved may not equal to amount borrowed
Saving = Borrowing leakages = injectionSaving > Borrowing decrease total spending, economic downturn (output & employment decrease)
Saving < Borrowing increase total spending, economic rebound (output & employment increase)

Government Tax-Spending Relationship
Government tax leads to leakages in the spending stream
Government spending is the injection to the spending stream
Tax received < Government spending Upswing/grow
Tax received > Government spending Downswing
Tax received = Government spending No change

FOREIGN SECTOR
Foreign Sector & the Circular Flow• Exports (X) - Goods and services that are sold
abroad.
• Imports (M) - Goods and services purchased from abroad.
• Net Exports (X- M) - Exports minus imports.

SUMMARY OF TOTAL SPENDING & ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
• Total Spending drives the economy’s production, employment, and income levels.
![Page 24: Topic 8 - Business Cycle & Economic Fluctuations](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f0c6471a28ab6c608b457b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MULTIPLIER EFFECTMultiplier Effect
A change in total output & income that is generated by a change in non-income determined spending, becomes larger than, or a multiple of, the initial change in the spending itself.
![Page 25: Topic 8 - Business Cycle & Economic Fluctuations](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f0c6471a28ab6c608b457b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
MULTIPLIER EFFECT
Calculating the Multiplier Effect
Initial change in non-income determined spending divided by the percentage of additional income not spent will yield the total change in output and income.
Assuming 20% due to $2,000,000 (what was not spent) from $10,000,000 initial injection Thus, $10,000,000 / 0.20 = $50,000,000
![Page 26: Topic 8 - Business Cycle & Economic Fluctuations](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f0c6471a28ab6c608b457b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MULTIPLIER EFFECT
Effect on Total Output and Income from a Non-income-Determined Spending Injection of $10,000,000
![Page 27: Topic 8 - Business Cycle & Economic Fluctuations](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f0c6471a28ab6c608b457b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How does non-income determined spending and multiplier effect affect the economic activity?
An initial injection of non-income determined spending provides income to those who own the resources used to produce the goods and services.
Those who own the resources then spend part of their income on new goods and services, which again, provides income to the owners of resources used to produce goods and services.
Those who own the resources, then again, spend part of their newly received income to purchase goods and services.
MULTIPLIER EFFECT
![Page 28: Topic 8 - Business Cycle & Economic Fluctuations](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f0c6471a28ab6c608b457b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
(Cont’d) How does non-income determined spending and multiplier effect affect the economic activity?
Thus, the multiplier effect occurs because non-income determined spending injected into the economy is spent again and again.
This process will be continuously repeated, leading to the non-income determined spending later on becomes larger than, or a multiple of the initial injection as the process repeat itself in the circular flow of income stream.
Large injection will therefore stimulate the economic activity.

REVIEW
1. Explain each phase of macroeconomic activities using a business cycle.
2. Describe the sources for “non-income determined spending” in a four –sector macroeconomic model.
3. Discuss the injection - leakages relationship within a three sector macroeconomic model.
