Yet more defintions of “recession” if you haven’t found one that suits you yet. Endnu flere definitioner af "recession", hvis du ikke har fundet en, der passer dig endnu. Dave Ramsey sticks to the text book defintion. Dave Ramsey sticks til teksten bog definitionen.

Dave has been taking a lot of slack of late for saying that we are not in a recession, which is technically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.  I blogged recently about how many in the media and even the government, feel like we are in a recession in all but name and said the old definition no longer fits. Dave har taget en masse slack for sent til at sige, at vi ikke befinder sig i en recession, der er teknisk defineret som to på hinanden følgende kvartaler med negativ BNP-vækst. Jeg blogges for nylig om, hvordan mange i medierne og selv regeringen, føler vi er i en recession i alle men navn og sagde den gamle definition ikke længere passer.

This article at CNNMoney.com makes a couple of interesting points. Denne artikel på CNNMoney.com gør et par interessante punkter.

in the United States, an official declaration of a recession is made - often after a recovery has already begun - by a committee from the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private organization. i USA, en officiel erklæring af en recession er der - ofte efter et opsving er allerede begyndt - af et udvalg fra National Bureau of Economic Research, et privat foretagende.

This implies that we are often flat in the middle of a recession before we know it.  Dave does not deny that we could be in the front end of a recession, but it irks people to know end that he sticks to the technical defintion. Dette indebærer, at vi ofte fast i midten af en recession, før vi kender den. Dave ikke benægte, at vi kunne være i den forreste ende af en recession, men det ærgrer mennesker at kende slutningen, at han holder sig til tekniske definitionen.

It seems that two consecutive quarters of negative growth is not the ONLY definition used by the National Bureau of Economic Research either.  This sounds like the government getting sophisticated.  IE - Watch Out. Det lader til, at to på hinanden følgende kvartaler med negativ vækst er ikke den eneste definition anvendes af National Bureau of Economic Research enten. Dette lyder som regeringen at få sofistikeret. IE - Watch Out.

It defines a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity” over a period of a several months, and takes into account the depth of the decline, not just the duration, according to the NBER’s Web site. Det definerer en recession som "en betydelig nedgang i den økonomiske aktivitet" over en periode på flere måneder, og tager hensyn til dybden af den tilbagegang, og ikke kun den periode, i henhold til NBER's websted. It also uses a broad array of indicators in addition to the GDP, it says. Det bruger også en bred vifte af indikatorer som supplement til BNP, det siger.

CNN then drops in a little Chicken Little for us at the end. CNN derefter dråber i en lille Chicken Little for os i slutningen.

The United States has not been in recession since 2001, but many economists expect a recession this year. USA har ikke været i recession siden 2001, men mange økonomer forventer en recession i år. Some economists have said the United States is already experiencing one, and surveys suggest much of the public agrees. Nogle økonomer har sagt USA er allerede oplever en, og undersøgelser tyder på en stor del af befolkningen er enig.
