Will the economic recovery die of old age?

Author

  • Glenn D. Rudebusch

Abstract

Is the current recovery more likely to end because it?s lasted so long? Have various imbalances and rigidities accumulated to make the economy frailer and more susceptible to a recessionary shock? Recent history suggests the answer is no. Instead, a long recovery appears no more likely to end than a short one. Like Peter Pan, recoveries appear to never grow old.
