In economics, a recession is a business cycle contraction. It is a general slowdown in economic activity. Macroeconomic indicators such as GDP (gross domestic product), investment spending, capacity utilization, household income, business profits, and inflation fall, while bankruptcies and the unemployment rate rise.Recessions generally occur when there is a widespread drop in spending (an adverse demand shock). recession has many attributes that can occur simultaneously and includes declines in component measures of economic activity (GDP) such as consumption, investment, government spending, and net export activity.
The final equilibrium will occur at point B on the diagram. As the interest rate rises from i$' to i$, real money demand will have fallen from 2 to 1. Thus, an increase in real GDP (i.e., economic growth) will cause an increase in average interest rates in an economy. In contrast, a decrease in real GDP ( a recession) will cause a decrease in average interest rates in an economy. International Finance Theory and Policy - Chapter 40-11: Last Updated on 1/11/05.
