Give some examples of Coincident indicators.

Depth, Duration, Diffusion
GDP, personal income, retail sales
Stocks rally, people spend more money
Firms increase production to meet new demands

The correct answer is: GDP, personal income, retail sales

Coincident indicators move in conjunction with the overall economy and reflect the current state of economic activity. Examples of coincident indicators include GDP (Gross Domestic Product), personal income, and retail sales. These indicators provide real-time information on the health of the economy because they change simultaneously with economic expansions or contractions. In contrast to coincident indicators, the other options mentioned are not examples of coincident indicators: - Option A (Depth, Duration, Diffusion) refers to characteristics used to analyze market trends and behaviors, not coincident indicators. - Option C (Stocks rally, people spend more money) describes the relationship between market performance and consumer spending but does not directly measure the current state of the economy. - Option D (Firms increase production to meet new demands) could be considered a lagging indicator as it reflects changes that have already occurred in the economy.
