Recession: The Economic Puzzle Pieces – GDP

In today’s presentation we continue our analysis of the business cycle by looking at US real GDP and its components. Said components consist of consumption, domestic investment, government spending, and net exports. What is telling throughout this presentation is that it appears that these macro data points are indicating that we are at or nearing the peak of this current expansion. The longest such expansion in US history. The question remains, when will we officially find ourselves in recession and how severe will this recession be? Because afterall, recessions have not been outlawed and in fact are a healthy process to rid the market of malinvestment and other inefficiencies. #Economy #Recession #GDP
