The global slumpometer
Nov 6th 2008
From The Economist print edition
 
Rich countries face their deepest recession since the 1930s. For poorer nations it could still be relatively mild
 
MANY economists are now predicting the worst global recession since the 1930s. Such grim warnings discourage spending by households and businesses, depressing output even more.It is unfortunate, therefore, that there is so much confusion about what pundits mean whenthey talk about a .global recession.. 
America, Britain, the euro area and Japan are almost certainly already in recession
according to the popular rule of thumb of two successive quarters of falling GDP. But is theR-word really justified for the world as a whole? In an updated World Economic Outlook,published on November 6th, the IMF predicted that world GDP growth would fall to 2.2% in2009, based on purchasing-power parity (PPP) weights, from 5% in 2007 and 3.7% in 2008.In the past, the IMF has said that global growth of less than 3% implied a world recession,so its latest forecasts would push the world over the edge. Some forecasts by private-sectorfirms are even gloomier, with several now predicting global GDP growth of no more than1.5% in 2009. 
But why does the IMF think that a world economy growing by less than 3% a year is inrecession? To many people, growth of 2.9%, say, sounds pretty robust. Surely a drop inoutput is required? The trouble is that there is no agreed definition of a global recession.The popular benchmark used in developed economies.two successive quarters of decline.is not helpful when looking at the world as a whole本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
