Question

Economic variables are sometimes divided into “leading indicators” and “lagging indicators.” Leading indicators are variables that start to change before an economic expansion or contraction. Lagging indicators change only when an expansion or contraction is well underway. Based on the graph of the unemployment rate, is unemployment a leading or lagging indicator of recessions? Explain. How can we use this information when providing advice to a company that sells goods to consumers?
