Joe, > What is National Bureau of Economic Research, and what are their criteria? They are a private, non-profit research organization. You can Google them if you want. They have already stated that they use other indicators besides negative GDP growth. Ultimately, though, they came to a conclusion based on a conference call by their "cycle dating committee."
