Talk:Business cycle

message: Interested to rediscuss the logic used in naming this article. 
The name "Business Cycles" should be changed to "Monetary System Cycles", because cycles, longwaves, K-Waves, etc. affect all actors within monetary systems (including producers, markets, regulations, stat keeping, etc.). Consider the following: 
1. "Use Cases" within Systems of Trade include:
i)  Bartering Systems
ii) Communal (Sharing) Systems
iii) Monetary Systems
iv) ...
2. Within the Use Case for "Monetary Systems", there are several "Actors" which include:
i) Businesses, Producers, ...
ii) Consumers, Markets, ...
iii) Governments - regulators, statistics keepers, ...
iv) Cycles - Monetary systems have cycles - and lifespans (due to the laws of simple compound interest). Waves or Cycles or Economies can be New or Late, Immature or Mature, etc. 
v) Economies -  snapshots of the conditions that exist within a country, group of countries, or world monetary system  at any one specific time 
vi) Ownership Models - Capitalism, Socialism, ...

thread_title:  Business Cycle? Naming isn't logical here ... 

message: Many of the interwiki links go to the word "conjuncture" in other languages, whereas Conjuncture only links to the corresponding words in Hungarian and Russian. Is there a reason for that? Are conjuncture and business cycle synonymous? Are there semantic differences between the word "conjuncture" in different languages?--87.162.55.153 (talk) 14:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about Hungarian and Russian, but German and Dutch use Konjunktur / Conjunctuur to mean "business cycle". Conjuncture isn't normally used for this in English. Rd232 talk 11:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

text: I agree. "Coyuntura" is a standard term in Spanish for what English-language economists call the business cycle, as is "Conjoncture" in French. The English Wikipedia page on Conjuncture should be eliminated, or merged into 'Business cycle'. Rinconsoleao (talk) 16:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Although I believe Henry George seldom gets his due, giving his business-cycle theories undue weight in this article is not an appropriate way to rectify the injustice.  Transcluding a section from some main article might be better than reiterating his entire viewpoint here. Yakushima (talk) 07:11, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: While the section devoted to Goergism is long, the reason is that we have just gone through a land speculation boom, and in some locations and countries, a bust of historic proportions.  Beyond that, Goergism does not fit as well into business cycles because George was mainly concerned with the disproportionate rise in land values that eventually leads to impoverishment of the citizenry, such as we now have in some places, like California and certain European and Asian cities.

message: "Recent research employing spectral analysis has confirmed the presence of Kondratiev waves in the world GDP dynamics at an acceptable level of statistical significance..." Sorry, but spectral analysis, based on Fourier methods or similar techniques, cannot handle non-stationary signals like GDP - which is not like energy waves, but alters in many ways over time.  If the attributed research used some form of Discrete Fast Fourier transform, they needed a window function to detect results.  But for such a classically dynamic signal, any window will predispose conclusions.  It's not impossible to detect macroeconomic cycles mathematically, but introducing spectral analysis is a red herring.

replies: text: I can see that Fourier transforms can be difficult to use for this kind of work. I'd have to check the research, but it should be possible to use filter theory to establish whether cycles do exist within a given range of frequencies.GliderMaven (talk) 02:10, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

message: When I studied economics about 45 years ago, this was referred to as the trade cycle. Trade cycle still gives a large number of hits in Google. Although I agree that business cycle is now more current, should there not be a reference to this term? Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 00:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

message: "Land speculation slows the economy in two ways. It increases production costs by making land in general more expensive (shifting the Aggregate supply (AS) curve upward) " 
I think the author meant "Aggregate demand" instead of "Aggregate Supply". Otherwise the proposition seems meaningless.

message: I have removed the illustration of a business cycle, because its labels are seriously misleading. Not every business cycle has a boom at its peak level of growth, and not every cycle has a depression at its trough. The graph failed to label either of its coordinates, making it at best ambiguous and at worst incomprehensible to beginners. — Aetheling (talk) 21:31, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Illustration of the business cycle 

message: Recently a section was added to this article, right after the introduction. The new section presented the "yield curve" explanation for the cause of business expansions and contractions, with data provided in a table to back up the claims. Since this entire section is just one of many possible explanations of the business cycle, I moved it into the section on Explanations. I took the opportunity to fix a spelling error and to break up a couple of run-on sentences. There are still two external links that still need to be converted to footnotes. — Aetheling (talk) 21:31, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

message: "Kitchin inventory cycle of 3 to 5 years". The source given says 40 months but can vary. I'm not saying the range is wrong but it's not in the source (that I could see). It mentions 40 months however for the minor cycles and the major could be double or even triple making the (major) cycle 10 years (or more?). Should the major cycles be mentioned? And/or the cycle clarified to be the major one (not including major one).
It seems to me that the cycle could be getting shorter, it I understand what it is about correctly, for say electronics and JIT-intentory. Saying so would be WP:OR however. Anyone know? Could it be in some cases two or one year?
In the box it says "period" not "period in years". Implied maybe, and I'm ok with that - I just first got to the page about the cycle and it only mentioned months and 40 (and no range - while it fits in it after convertion..). comp.arch (talk) 19:56, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
