Meaning Of Trade Cycle The trade cycle refers to the ups and

downs in the level of economic activity which extends over a period of several years. If we examine the past statistical record of the business conditions, we will find that business has never run smoothly for ever. There are many fluctuations in the period. Some times prosperity is followed by adversely. In Economics this tendency of the business activities, to fluctuate from prosperity to adversely is called business cycle.www.advanced.edu.in

recession is two consecutive quarters of declining output. www.advanced.edu.in
