Over the years, several economists have put forth competing ideas to explain business cycles. The first
half of the twentieth century sees the emergence of a wide variety of novel and crucially significant
theories and concepts about economic cycles.

Business cycles have been researched by several classical economists since the nineteenth century,
including Adam Smith, James Miller, and David Ricardo. They linked the two theories using Say's law,
which states that supply determines demand. They attributed economic stability mostly to market
factors. Following this, several following economists, such as Keynes and Hick, provided models for
analysing economic downturns and recoveries.
The many hypotheses for the business cycle are shown in Figure 3.
