Topic: Expansion <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

An expansion is a period of increasing aggregate economic activity, indicated by the growth of real GDP from B to C.
  • Expansions typically last about 2-4 years, but can continue up to a decade.
  • The economy generally grows faster than, often surpassing, the long-run trend.
  • A recovery is the early part of an expansion.
  • As the economy approaches point C, above the long-run trend, inflation is most likely to become a problem, as we try to buy more output than our resources can produce.
  • At or above the full-employment, long-run trend line, unemployment is less of a problem.
