BUSINESS CYCLES
DUE TO 10 FACTORS
Economist Analyses Booms
and SIumps for Benefit of
industrial Leaders.

Is the business cycle now SO con-
stantly mentioned in the financial and
business world. myth?
Prof. Wesley c. Mitchell, one Of the
directors of the National Bureau of
Economic Research. has endeavorcd
to answer the question in a fact-find
ing report entitled. Business Cycles:
, The Problem and It's Setting" TAX
ing the position that these cycles are
! far from a myth. he discusses the
| business issue in these terms:
The business annals suggest that
| business cycles are partly national.
| partly international phenomena: that
| they refer to average conditions in
! business as whole; that they vary in
| intensity and duration; that they are
continuous; that they are influenced
| by "A host of factors not of business
| origin. and that they are found only
| in countries having highly developed
commercial organization.
The theories of business cycles
suggest that these cycles are conger-
| les of cycioal fluctuations occurring
! in many different economic activities.
| THE statistical materials add that
| cyclical fluctuations occur in coniunc-
| ton with secular changes. seasonal
variations and irregular fluctuations
Statistical technique provides meth.
DDS which enable us to segregate the
| cyclicalirregular fluctuations from
secular and seasonal variations"
Where Cycle Hazard Is Greatest.
| The writer adds that the business
| cycle hazard is greatest in those in
dustries dominated by large-scala
| business enterprises, and within
those industries is greater among
| the large than among the small en-
| terprises.
Probably about half of all EN-.
| ployes work in enterprises exposed
to a large business cycle hazard, but
over nine-tenths of the men working
on their own account are In
| branches of business less exposed.
1t is generally recognized that
| business cycles are a recent develop
| ment. says DR.. Mitchell. BY some
writer's they are connected with
capitalism" by others with money
economy" A better term seems to
| be business economy"
Studies Date Back to Napoleon.
Commercial crises, DIR. Mitchell
| shows, were the first phase of busi-
ness cycles to attract attention. The
earliest significant studies, date from
the end of the Napoleonic wars.
In the course of the Nineteenth cen
| tury wide variety of explanations
was developed and the problem was
enlarged to include all phases of
| cyclical fluctuations.
DR.. Mitchell reviews ten explana.
tions now current: The weather as a
cause, the uncertainty of business
mems forecasts, emotional waves. in
| novations, saving and investing. con-
struction work, generalized overpro.
| duction, banking operations, the flow
| of money incomes and profitmaking.
DR.. Mitchell made his business
studies for the benefit of employer
and employees and to show the inter-
| relation between industry, commerce
| and finance. The National Bureau Of
Economic Research hopes by the
| presentation of a mass of economic
| facts to assist business leaders and
| corporations in the great problems Of
| administration.
