An Anemic Recovery?\n\nby John J.Erceg and Lydia K.Leovic  \nT  \nIhe latest economic indicators are sig-naling an end to the recession that beganlast July.According to most forecasters,a recovery has already begun,or is aboutto begin shortly.Less certain are ques-tions about the strength of the recoveryand about Federal Reserve policy in theearly stages of the upturn.  \nThese issues were central to the mid-year meeting of the Fourth DistrictEconomists'Roundtable,held June 14at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleve-land.The most current data available tothe panel suggest that the 1990-91recession,the ninth economic contrac-tion of the post-World War II era,ap-parently ended in the spring months of1991.Ifso,it would rank about averagein duration compared with the previouseight recessions,which lasted an aver-age of 11 months.  \nThe 1990-91 downturm also representsone of the mildest of the postwar reces-sions in terms of GNP contraction,ac-cording to the Roundtable forecasters.The median of 24 forecasts shows a vir-tual standstill in real GNPin 1991:IIQ,following a l percent decline between1990:IIIQ and 1991:IQ.This compareswith an average real GNP contractionof 2.6 percent between peak and troughquarters of the previous eight recessions  \nWhy do most forecasters believe that theeconomy may be in or close to a recov-ery?A number of leading indicators thatusually foreshadow economic recov-eries by two to eight months advancedbetween February and April,suggestingto a Roundtable panelist that a business  \ntrough occurred between May and July.His computed estimate of the probabilityof recovery grew to 98 percent in April.Moreover,the Commerce Department'scomposite index of leading economic in-dicators rose for four successive monthsbetween February and May.In the past,consecutive increases of that lengthhave indicated that a trough occurredwithin the last two months or will bereached within the next six months,according to a study by the FederalReserve Bank of Cleveland.  \nAlthough forecasters uniformly agreethat recovery in real GNPwill get underway by 1991:IIQ,there is disagreementabout its strength,at least in the earlymonths.In the first year of the seven re-coveries since the mid-1950s,real GNProse 5.7 percent (6.7 percent if the1949-50 recoveryis included).Themedian forecast of the Roundtable groupanticipates only about a 2.8 percent in-crease in real GNPin the four quartersbetween 1991:HQ and 1992:IIQ(seefigure 1)  \n## ■ Two Recovery Scenarios\n\nEstimating the strength of the early stageof expansions has often eluded forecast-ers,and divergent views about the out-look are not uncommon.The current epi-sode is a good case in point.At least twoscenariosof the economic outlook werepresented at the Roundtable meeting,onecalling for a relatively mild recovery andanother indicating a somewhat strongergrowth path for output.Both of these,however,fall short ofthe real GNPgrowth rate in the past recoveries.  \nAugust 1,1991  \nNow that the economy appears tohave climbed out of recession,whatare the prospects for the early stagesof expansion?Forecasters attendingthe most recent Fourth DistrictEconomists'Roundtable expresseddivergent views about the strength ofthe recovery,but their consensus isfor a subdued gain in real GNPthrough mid-1992.A critical factorwill be the Federal Reserve's commit-ment to controlling inflation as therecovery unfolds.  \nThe milder scenario is based on severalpossible constraints that are likely toinhibit the growth rate of the economy,according to oneof the Roundtable mem-bers.These include a high level of privatedebt,tax increases that have taken placesince last fall,relatively high interestrates going into recovery,a long-temdownward adjustment in service-sectoremployment,and waning consumer con-fidence,all of which are likely to restrainreal GNPgrowth to a 2.5 to 3 percentrange at least through the end of 1992.  \nAn alternative view is that the upturnwill not be as weak as indicated by themedian forecast.The bright","cbCaiiKZW0xfehix","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiKZW0xfehix","pdf",1296515,"English","# Two
