makrocyklach

Makrocykle, often referred to as macroeconomic cycles or business cycles, describe the recurrent fluctuations in economic activity that an economy experiences over time. These cycles are characterized by periods of expansion, where economic output, employment, and investment tend to rise, followed by periods of contraction or recession, where these indicators typically decline.

The typical phases of a makrocykl include expansion, peak, contraction (recession), and trough. An expansion phase is marked by strong economic growth, low unemployment, and increasing consumer spending. A peak represents the highest point of economic activity before a downturn begins. The contraction or recession is a period of significant decline in economic output, often accompanied by rising unemployment and falling demand. The trough marks the lowest point of economic activity before the economy begins to recover.

Several factors can influence makrocykle, including changes in aggregate demand and supply, monetary and fiscal policy interventions, technological innovations, and external shocks such as financial crises or geopolitical events. Economists study these cycles to understand their causes, predict their duration and severity, and develop policies aimed at moderating their impact, such as smoothing out the booms and busts to promote more stable economic growth. The length and intensity of makrocykle can vary significantly across different economies and historical periods.
