Recession is the opposite of inflation. When recession happens, expansionary policy takes place. Meaning, government spending decreases and taxes increase.


Anonymous...
here's a rundown of what happens during a recession:

1. massive layoffs at corporate level
2. companies miss earnings
3. cyclical companies like high priced retailers, autos, and other decretionary goods take a hit as well
4. federal reserve usually takes interest rates down to spur corporate growth and lending
5. lots of things go on sale but not many people buy because money conditions are tightened

I am not an economist (or have anything to do with that species)...hence, responding in plain ENGLISH.

The market is driven by supply and demand of money. And, these depend on the spending consumers do in their immediate or near future. This spending, in turn, depends on consumers' confidence in the economy (such as overall condition, job security, inflation rate, etc).
Hence, in a recession, the key influencer group (trend-setters of society) develop a negative sentiment of the economy, which sets in a chain reaction to a larger base of consumers. With this widespread of low confidence of consumers in their short-term economic prospects, they delay/ reduce their immediate spending - which causes a negative inflow of money in the market...and that is recession. There are professionals around the world, specializing in Business-Cycle Economics, who try to predict the Recession by monitoring several measures like Consumer Confidence Index, Employment Index, Stock Market, Index of Industrial Production, etc.

Reccessions occur when the GDP (Gross Domestic Produce, the measurement of economic activity) continues to contract or fall two or more quaters of a year in a row.

Peoples consumption and spending decrease, and they start to save more money. In Macroeconomics, this is called a leakage.

Because people aren't spending money, revenue firms (organisations) drop and they're capital could suffer. This could lead to a fall in business investment confidence, which would lead to less spending on capital.

Firms would have less investment confidence to proccure economic resources (including labour), which could lead to an increase in unemployment.

To avoid or rectify all of this, the government or reserve bank would employ monetary (involves increasing or lowering interest rates to get the desired effect) or fiscal policies (involves increasing or lowering taxation).

Prices and incomes fall. Opposite of inflation.
