Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Economic fluctuations, or business cycles, have not necessarily become more frequent over time. While the nature and causes of these fluctuations can change, the frequency of economic cycles does not show a clear trend of increasing over time. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) tracks these cycles, and historical data does not support a trend of increasing frequency.
