Economic growth versus the business cycle
Economists draw a distinction between short-run economic changes in production
and long-run economic growth. Short-run variation in economic growth is termed the
"business cycle." Briefly, the business cycle is made up of booms and busts in production
that occur over a period or months or years. The most recent example of a business cycle
was the global boom starting in approximately 2002 that ended with the bust of 2008-09.
As discussed in the article on the business cycle, economists attribute the ups and downs
in the business cycle to a number of causes including: overproduction of goods followed
by large inventories that can't be readily sold, overexpansion of credit resulting in piling
up of debt that inhibits purchasing, speculative bubbles, and shocks like wars, political
upheavals and so on.
In contrast, the topic of economic growth is concerned with the long-run trend in
production due to basic causes such as industrialization. The business cycle moves up
and down, creating fluctuations in the long-run trend in economic growth.

1. What is short-run variation in economic growth termed?
