The Disappointing Recovery of Output after 2009
Recommendation
Even before the Great Recession, the US economy was pushing against substantial headwinds that continue to blow. Research from economists John G. Fernald, Robert E. Hall, James H. Stock and Mark W. Watson points to a structural downshift in total factor productivity and a drop in labor force participation as major contributors to the tepid output growth since the bottom of the recession in 2009. GetAbstract recommends this authoritative report to policy experts, economists and analysts seeking to better understand the dynamics behind the US post-crisis economy.
