	Encyclopedia: Boom and bust
		In economics, the term boom and bust refers to the movement of an economy through economic cycles due to changes in aggregate demand.
		During booms, there is a high level of aggregate demand, inflation increases, unemployment falls, and growth in national income accelerates.
		The term "boom and bust" itself has been a motto of Social Democrat parties, claiming to represent a "Third Way" and who wish to regulate the economic cycle as to prevent both booms and recessions.

	What Investment Patterns across Equipment and Industries Tell Us about the Recent Investment Boom and Bust - Federal ...
		In the investment bust, the role was even more pronounced: the negative GDP growth contribution from equipment expenditures was a major factor restraining GDP growth to a minimal level in 2001.
		Despite the evidence that the investment bust was influential, aggregate studies of the bust, such as McCarthy (2001, 2003) and Kliesen (2003), have been unable to identify its source.
		In either case, the 2001 investment bust and possibly the recent recession could be at least partially attributable to the excessive optimism displayed by investing firms in the late 1990s.

	The Saga of Japan: Boom to Bust
		As a boom matures, bank portfolios are filled with loans that would not have been made, either for too much risk or too little return, in the absence of credit expansion.
		Just as the boom builds outward from banks to the rest of the economy, with banks benefiting the most, the bust collapses inward to banks from the rest of the economy, with banks suffering the most.
		To favor fiscal policy as a palliative to the bust, one must favor the political expenditures of bureaucrats over the economic expenditures of entrepreneurs since, either in the case of fiscal policy or laissez-faire, the malinvestments must be liquidated and the misallocated factors reallocated.

		It was the increasing defiance of gravity by both the booming economy and the bubbling stock market that opened the way to the corporate accounting scandals, the stock-market crash and the new recession.
		The bust, when it came, thus proceeded from the dot.coms, via the telecoms carriers, to the equipment suppliers and their component makers.

	Free Book Summary : Boom, Bust and Echo - How to Profit From the Coming Demographic Shift by David K. Foot with Daniel ...
		He also analyses the cohorts that followed the boom: the 'baby bust' (a period from 1967 to 1979 when relatively few babies were born) and the 'baby boom echo' (from 1980 to the present - the children of the baby boomers).
		While demographic theory would predict that the baby bust generation, now entering the workforce, would have better job prospects than their Generation X predecessors (because there are not as many of them to compete with one another), the reality is that Canada is in its fourth consecutive decade of rising unemployment.
		In the transportation field, the baby boom generation has largely moved away from public transit and into their own private cars; that is why ridership for most public transit systems has been declining throughout the past decade.

	Capitalist GIobalism In Crisis Boom and Bust
		The truth is that neither part of capitalism's manic-depressive boom and bust cycle is "healthy." Like most capitalist booms, the benefits of global liberalization during the 1980s and l990s were not all they were made out to be.
		The boom was also limited largely to the very wealthiest in the U.S. Economists Walter Park and David Brat of American University calculated that the Gini coefficient for GDP per capita in 91 countries for which data were available rose steadily throughout the time period.
		While the blush on the boom is seldom as bright as reported, the human consequences of the bust are almost always far worse than revealed by the capitalist media.

	The Federal Reserve and Productivity’s Boom-Bust Cycle by Eric Englund
		When boom turned into bust beginning in 2000, the Fed eventually lowered the fed funds rate to an emergency-low level of 1%.
		The Austrian theory suggests that the boom and bust are more meaningfully identified with intertemporal misallocations of resources within the economy’s capital structure followed by liquidation and capital restructuring.
		During the artificial boom, when workers are bid away from late stages of production into earlier stages, unemployment is low; when the boom ends, workers are simply released from failing businesses, and their absorption into new or surviving firms is time-consuming.

	Boom, bust, build-out theory predicts internet upswing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Cisco senior vice president Howard Charney proposes a 'boom, bust and build out' explanation for the current internet slowdown, which like other world-changing technologies before it, will now more rapidly move to transform the world economically and socially.
		The "boom" period he suggests is a period of euphoria where entrepreneurs, investors and early adopters rally around the product, followed by a relatively short "bust" where tough economic realities are faced followed by an extraordinary 'build-out.'
		In the bust thousands of smaller auto companies folded and in the US only Ford, GM and Chrysler survived, however innovation continued including the V8 engine, power steering, electric indicators and safety glass and by the 1950s motor vehicles sales raced ahead again.

		In addition, the period over which the Baby Boom generation is expected to retire spans about 30 years.
		Despite such possibilities, the surging old-age dependency ratio remains a significant generational challenge, not just for Social Security, but perhaps for private retirement plans as well, in ways we are just beginning to explore.

		It allowed leavers to take advantage of a booming job market, and gave employers short on employees extra incentives to train and provide extra supports to the welfare leavers.
		At the same time, states were flush with cash and as their welfare caseloads shrank, they were able to use money that once went to income support to provide job training, child care, transportation, and health insurance for the leavers.
