Summary:Developed fifty years ago by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the analytic methods of business cycles and economic indicators enable economists to forecast economic trends by examining the repetitive sequences that occur in business cycles.

This volume contains twenty-two articles by international experts who are working with new and innovative approaches to indicator research.
