What is Schumpeter's theory of business cycles called?

  • Keynesian cycles

  • Schumpeterian cycles

  • Marxian cycles

  • Ricardian cycles

Answer

Schumpeterian cycles, named after economist Joseph Schumpeter, describe the cyclical nature of economic growth driven by innovation. Schumpeter argued that technological advancements lead to the introduction of new products and processes, creating economic expansion. However, as these innovations become established, their impact diminishes, leading to a decline in growth and potential economic downturns. This cycle of innovation, expansion, and contraction drives the long-term trajectory of economic development.
