Meaning Of Trade Cycle The trade cycle refers to the ups and
downs in the level of economic activity which extends over a period of several years. If we examine the past statistical record of the business conditions, we will find that business has never run smoothly for ever. There are many fluctuations in the period. Some times prosperity is followed by adversely. In Economics this tendency of the business activities, to fluctuate from prosperity to adversely is called business cycle.www.advanced.edu.in
Definition
Prof. Keynes says : " A trade cycle is composed of periods of bad trade characterized by falling prices and high unemployment percentages while a period of good trade is characterized by rising prices and high employment, percentages."

pressure fades. If the recession is prolonged, price
may decline (deflation) The government determinant for a
recession is two consecutive quarters of declining output. www.advanced.edu.in

prolonged There is no precise decline in output at
which a serious recession becomes a depression.
