Description

This issue collects minor code and style comments from the Feb 2024 reading group meeting on
https://intro.quantecon.org/business_cycle.html

Many thanks @SylviaZhaooo and @longye-tian for suggestions.

  • Code in section #gdp-growth-rate repeats the first section where it teaches readers how to retrieve data.
  • Add a section on what is business cycles and what defines them.
  • Add a table of contents at the beginning of lectures.
  • consumer_sentiment -> production_output.

Research direction

Start with the business-cycle lecture at https://intro.quantecon.org/business_cycle.html, especially the #gdp-growth-rate section and the earlier data-retrieval material. Address the unchecked suggestions by removing repeated teaching code, adding an explanation of business cycles, and adding a table of contents; done means those three checklist items are complete.
