Regression to the Mean

I have a master of arts in education, and in acquiring that I learned educational policy makers use abuse regression to the mean to skew results to appear to achieve desired goals. I used the term on the blog a month earlier, and used it incorrectly. Here is a good explanation of the term, and its proper use.

It doesn't change the point of my blog posting, but now I have to find the right term for when the economy shoots up beyond normal, it eventually shoots down below normal.
