Forecasting economic crisis using gradient measurement of development and log-logistic function

This paper shows that regardless of how good the economic situation is, sooner or later certain difficulties will appear.

The presented proposal of determining the economic cycle and the model of forecasting using the modified logistic function (log-logistic function) was tested with use of data regarding the Polish economy
