2. In view of the ‘Economic clock’, what would be the likely conditions in a time of ‘boom’?
Every economy has a rate of -trend- to growth - the speed with which the economy has tended to grow in the last decades. The economic cycle is a fluctuation of economic activity, above or below this growth rate. An economic cycle comprises the time it takes for an economy to go through a high, a low, and back to its usual trend. At the boom time (High time), the economy can grow very quickly, but generally this expansion has a brief life, giving rise to the fall in negative territory - that is, to the contraction of the economy. If the economy contracts for two successive quarters, it is technically in recession. This journey goes hand in hand with rising unemployment and reduced corporate profits. In another words, the boom phase can be identified by expansion, high employment, economic growth, and an increase in inflationary conditions.
