Presents the empirical data of business cycles and the theories
that economists have developed to explain and prevent them, and
considers case studies of recessions and depressions in the United
States and internationally. Despite more than two centuries of
debate, a definitive explanation of the causes of economic cycles
still does not exist. Economists, politicians, and policymakers
have argued many well-known theories as to why these peaks and
slumps occur, and cyclical recessions and depressions continue in
spite of the enormous intellectual reserves working to prevent
them. This timely analysis presents a comprehensive overview of
global economics, assessing older theories alongside of new ways of
thinking to reveal the empirical methods needed to evaluate,
forecast, and prevent future crises. Educator and economist Todd
Knoop provides explanations of influential macroeconomic theories
that have shaped modern economics, such as Keynesian economics,
Neoclassical economics, Austrian economics, and New Keynesian
economics. In addition, he considers case studies of specific
recessions and depressions, beginning with the Great Depression
through the East Asian crisis and Great Recession in Japan and
culminating with a detailed examination of the European debt crisis
and the 2008 global financial crisis. The work concludes with a
look at the insights gained from these fiscal events as well as the
major questions that still remain unanswered as a result of these
crises. Features four primary forecasting techniques and assesses
the effectiveness of these methods in forecasting actual business
cycles Examines the reasons behind the lessening frequency of
recessions in postwar America Makes the subject of economic crises
timely and relevant by addressing the recent global financial
crisis and the European debt crisis Reveals how the collapse of the
housing market led to a credit crunch and a global economic
slowdown
