Statistics on Economic Recession




Based on many questions I have seen surrounding recessions and their impact on risk assets like #SPX, I thought we could spend some time looking at historical #recession statistics. In this video we look at things like the difference between when a recession starts and when it is declared, as well as when the #SPX tends to bottom with respect to the declaration of the recession.

Recessions are a common phenomenon in modern economic history. A recession is defined as a period of time when the economy experiences a decline in output or a negative growth rate. In simple terms, it is a period of economic contraction that is characterized by widespread job losses, reduction in production, and low levels of investment and spending.

Recession statistics help us understand the severity and duration of recessions. These statistics are collected and analyzed by economists and policymakers to formulate strategies to minimize the adverse effects of recessions on the economy.

One of the most commonly used metrics to measure economic growth is the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The GDP is the total value of goods and services produced in a country within a specific period of time. During a recession, the GDP falls below its trend level, indicating a decline in economic activity.

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is the official organization responsible for declaring when a recession starts and ends in the United States. According to the NBER, the most recent recession in the US started in December 2007 and lasted until June 2009. During this period, the US GDP fell by 4.3% in real terms, and the unemployment rate rose to 9.5% by June 2009.

Another common recession statistic is the unemployment rate. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed and actively seeking employment. During a recession, the unemployment rate tends to increase as businesses lay off workers to cut costs.

The unemployment rate in the US peaked at 10% in October 2009 during the Great Recession. However, it gradually declined in the following years and reached a low of 3.5% in February 2020. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the unemployment rate skyrocketed to 14.8% in April 2020, the highest rate since the Great Depression.

In addition to GDP and unemployment rate, other recession statistics such as consumer spending, stock market performance, and inflation rates are also monitored closely during recessions.

In conclusion, recession statistics are an important tool for analyzing and responding to economic decline. By understanding the patterns and trends of recessions, policymakers can take necessary steps to mitigate the impact of recessions on the economy and people’s lives.
