Pokud se USA z recese zotaví do konce roku, což je pravděpodobné, jednalo by se o recesi třikrát delší a asi pětkrát hlubší – ve smyslu kumulativního propadu výstupu – než předchozí dvě.
If the US recession were – as most likely - to be over at the end of the year, as is likely, it will have been three times as long and about fives times as deep – in term of the cumulative decline in output – as the previous two.
