As the official arbiter of US business cycles, the NBER pores through all manner of economic data to precisely pinpoint when the economy slipped into recession. The NBER's Business Cycle Dating Committee does not determine the start or end of a recession until it has at least six months of data. Often, even more time is required to make the determination. For example, the NBER officially determined the economy last entered a recession in July 1990. But it weighed-in with its decision in April 1991. Similarly, it pinpointed the '90-'91 recession's March 1991 end in December 1992. news.bbc.co.uk Rule of thumb: recession when real GDP declines 2 quarters. High point before recession is peak Low point is trough. Date recessions from peak to trough. intervals are expansions. Last recession: July 1990 - March 1991. econ.washington.edu In a report released Monday, the bank says unlike the 1990-91 recession which impacted California for years and had comparatively less adverse inpact on other Western states, the current recession seems to be almost the opposite. sanjose.bizjournals.com …in the recession of July ’90–March ’91, a combination of bonds and growth stocks would have been excellent, but not a combination of bonds and value stocks. And in the third episode, REITs were the best investment, while neither growth nor value stocks earned much at all. So, again, it was good to have a multi-style, multi-asset-class portfolio. bernstein.com
