Question
Chapter 13.5, Problem 4R
To determine
The difference between leading indicators, coincident indicators and lagging indicators.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Leading indicators, coincident indicators and lagging indicators all are economic indicators, but they have some difference amongst them. These are explained below:
| Leading indicators | Coincident indicators | Lagging indicators |
| The statistical figures that exactly help analyze what can happen to an economy are leading indicators. | Those economic indicators that change at the time when an overall business activity changes are coincident business indicators. | The economic indicators that lag behind with the changes in overall business activities are lagging indicators. |
| Economists are concerned about these indicators as these indicators show a change in overall business activity. | These are helpful for the economists as when there is a down trend in them, it is an indication that the contraction cycle has started. | These are helpful for economists as they provide a clue about the duration of the phases of business cycle. |
