English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Fluctuations
DEF

Variations above and below the trend line of an economy. These variations have long been referred to as business cycles but, because they are not limited to the business sector of an economy and because the word "cycle" suggests a regularity which most investigators cannot find, most writers today use the expression "economic fluctuations".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fluctuations économiques
DEF

Mouvement oscillatoire de l'activité économique.

OBS

L'usage du terme "fluctuation" sans le qualificatif "économique" peut prêter à confusion.
