Early 2000s recession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Early 2000s recession was felt in mostly Western countries, affecting the European Union mostly during 2000 and 2001 and the United States mostly in 2002 and 2003. The Early 2000s recession had been predicted by economists for years, since the boom of the 1990s, which was accompanied by both low inflation and low unemployment, had already ceased in East Asia during that region's 1997 economic crisis. The Early 2000s recession was not as bad as many predicted it would be, nor was it as bad as either of the two previous world-wide recessions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Early_2000s_recession   (1536 words)

List of recessions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also note that before detailed economic statistics began to be gathered in the nineteenth century it was very difficult to tell when recessions occurred, but prior to industrialization economic downturns usually were caused by external actions on the economic system like wars and variations of the weather. Early 1980s recession - 1982 and 1983, caused by tight monetary policy in the U.S. to control inflation and sharp correction to overproduction of the previous decade which had been masked by inflation Early 2000s recession - 2001 to 2003: the collapse of the Dot Com Bubble, September 11th attacks and accounting scandals contribute to a relatively mild contraction in the North American economy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_recessions   (564 words)

ECONOMISTS SAY RECESSIONARY PERIOD TO BE In previous recessions, the Fed didn't begin lowering rates until negative growth set in - and, according to Moran, "It takes six months for the stimulative effects of these moves to materialize." The fact that the Fed has moved so promptly this time bodes well for a quick recovery. Moran also noted that "The household sector is in much better shape than the media has reported." The overall assets-to-liabilities picture for individual households is not bad, he said, in part because of the surge in mortgage refinancing activity which is helping many households better manage their debt. Lending an historical perspective, Berson said, "On a national basis, in the last four recessions home values did not drop." He and Nothaft also credited the very favorable inventory situation in the home building sector for their confidence that no market glut is forthcoming. www.rebuz.com /research/1101-real-estate-research/nahb_recession.htm   (1182 words)

Economy - Philippines - Asia The recession resulted in less demand for Philippine manufactures, and the economy moved into a deep recession in the mid-1980s. The modest pace of economic recovery was adversely affected by corruption in government and a global economic downturn in the early 2000s that reduced demand for Philippine manufactures by the country’s two largest trading partners, the United States and Japan. In the early 2000s the government was pursuing economic reforms to help the Philippines match the pace of development in the so-called newly industrialized economies of East Asia. www.countriesquest.com /asia/philippines/economy.htm   (567 words)

Recession: definition, impact on Canadians' lives, example and related link The term recession refers to a significant drop in economic activity, lasting more than a few months, as measured by employment rate and real gross domestic product (GDP). They are undesirable, but in a market economy such as Canada’s cycles of recession and prosperity are recurrent features of long-term economic growth. During the last recession in the early 1990s, the Canadian economy shrank substantially. canadianeconomy.gc.ca /English/economy/recession.html   (290 words)

Helping Low-Income Workers Weather the Recession   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) This recession, the change, if all goes according to Hoyle [ph], I suspect we'll end up seeing a 6.5 percent, or so, unemployment rate, all right, which means that the change will be roughly 2.2, which will put it somewhere in the ballpark of the '90-'91 recession, far better than the last two recessions. The rest is kept for a recession, either for loans to the state, if they need loans, or to help finance extensions of the regular benefits program, not the regular program itself, but only the extensions of that program—and I'll come back to that issue. I commend you for highlighting this early the issue of welfare reform, because Ben and I and the Ways and Means Committee, and I guess the Senate will participate, have a big job to do next year, because the welfare reform law that we passed in '96 comes up for reauthorization. www.brook.edu /comm/transcripts/20011206.htm   (12366 words)

Income Inequality Grew Across The Country Over The Past Two Decades: Early Signs Suggest Inequality Now Growing Again ... In most states, the gap between the highest-income families and poor and middle-income families grew significantly between the early 1980s and the early 2000s, according to a new study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Economic Policy Institute. The study compares combined data from 2001-2003 with data from the early 1980s and early 1990s, time periods chosen because they stand as comparable low points of their respective business cycles. In 38 states, the incomes of the bottom fifth of families grew more slowly than the incomes of the top fifth of families between the early 1980s and the early 2000s. www.cbpp.org /1-26-06sfp.htm   (1121 words)

Slovakia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The high point of this (Proto-)Slovak empire came with the arrival of Saints Cyril and Methodius during the reign of Prince Rastislav and the territorial expansion under King Svätopluk. After the disintegration of the Great Moravian Empire in the early 10th century, the Hungarians occupied the territory of the present-day Slovakia. After the Ottoman Empire started its expansion into present-day Hungary in the early 16th century, the center of the Kingdom of Hungary (under the name of Royal Hungary) shifted towards Slovakia, and Bratislava (known as Pressburg/Pressporek/Posonium/Posony at that time) became its capital in 1536. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Slovakia   (2627 words)

iTulip.com - Recession 2001 The recession that is the outgrowth of a financial and economic bubble is more likely to approximate the U.S. 1930s experience except that the preconditions are so different as to guarantee a very different kind of economic event. A unique characteristic of this recession not present in any previous recession is the high rate of change caused by the efficiency of information flow enabled by the Internet and other technologies adopted by corporate America and U.S. households over the past ten years. Evidence of a deepening recession by mid-2001 even as rates are cut will cause foreign investors to start to doubt the ability of the Fed to halt the economic contraction. www.itulip.com /recession2001.htm   (2395 words)

"Excelsior" or Bust? Another difference between the early 1990s and 2000s has been the extent to which the state budgets for those periods have relied on reductions in the state payroll. The state’s persistent structural budget gaps point to one final similarity between the early 1990s and early 2000s: in both cases, the underlying problem is not a lack of revenue but an excess of spending. The Medicaid growth rate for the early 1990s is based on annual figures from 1989 through 1993, respectively, as reported in the state health department’s Statistical Supplement; directly comparable state funds budget figures are not available prior to 1995, but the annual rates closely respond to overlapping fiscal year growth rates. www.nyfiscalwatch.com /html/fwm_2005-02.html   (2105 words)

Female brain-drain "a myth" The early 2000s recession led to sustained job losses for all women - those with and without children at home The early 2000s recession led to sustained job losses for all women - those with and without children at home - and the labour market only just returned to its 2000 employment level in January 2005, nearly four years after the recession began. The report also says that during this recession, women experienced their largest employment losses in decades and once this is controlled for, the presence of children at home plays a smaller role in women's labour force participation than it did in previous years, going back to 1984. www.management-issues.com /display_page.asp?section=research&id=2835   (628 words)

SIC 1794 Excavation Work The recession of the early 1990s dropped housing starts to just 1.01 million in 1991, but the economic recovery that began in 1992 helped housing starts rise each year to a peak of 1.46 million in 1994. Because residential construction trends were up throughout the United States in the early 2000s, excavation work in these areas was booming despite a sluggish economy. Not surprisingly, most growth occurred in southern and southwestern states, which have experienced the strongest population growth in the United States during the 1990s and early 2000s. www.referenceforbusiness.com /industries/Construction/Excavation-Work.html   (578 words)

BN23 :: News and Media :: Will the Fed Tightening Cycle End in Early 2006?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) However, the Baby Boom generation hasn't saved enough to retire, and many lost much of their wealth when the Nasdaq bubble burst in 2000, which postponed many plans for early retirements (the stock market crash was a "correcting mechanism" to keep future labor supply and demand in equilibrium). Much of the slack, created by the massive Creative-Destruction process of the early 2000s, has been taken out of the economy, although monetary policy remains stimulative and fiscal policy is expansionary. However, the Fed may pause in early 2006, when the Fed Funds Rate reaches 5%, after tightening 400 basis points over 16 consecutive FOMC meetings, since its campaign of "jawboning," to keep inflation expectations low, along with actual tightening have been effective. www.bn23.com /channels/News_and_Media/will-the-fed-tightening-cycle-end-in-early-2006-.html   (1253 words)

Concerned Citizens Talk, May 7, 2002 I read the 2001 recession as happening mostly in manufacturing, sparked by problems in the high-tech and telecommunications sectors. My view: the causes of the 2001 recession (“the three bears”) are still in place, while the countervailing forces seem unlikely to last. The main prop for the U.S. economy in the 1990s and early 2000s is likely to go away. myweb.lmu.edu /jdevine/talks/ConcCitzTalk020702.htm   (810 words)

Business cycle: definition, impact on Canadians' lives, examples and links to additional information A period in which real GDP is rising steadily is called an economic expansion, and a period in which it is falling steadily is called a recession. The early stage of an expansion, following a recession, is called an economic recovery. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Canada experienced a period of healthy economic expansion and prosperity. canadianeconomy.gc.ca /english/economy/business_cycle.html   (187 words)

Trade, debt woes point to recession - National - www.smh.com.au The economy may be heading for a downturn similar to the early 1990s recession because of fundamental trade and debt problems, a leading economist has warned. Rather than relying on higher interest rates - the policy which led to the deep recession of the early 1990s - he said the Government should urgently toughen budget policy. "In the early 2000s, we have repeated the first of the errors," he said. www.smh.com.au /news/National/Trade-debt-woes-point-to-recession/2004/12/03/1101923341755.html   (602 words)

Gross Domestic Product Encyclopedia Article @ LaunchBase.net (Launch Base)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The annual growth of real GDP is adjusted by using the "GDP deflator", which tends to underestimate the objective differences in the quality of manufactured output over time. (The deflator is explicitly based on subjective experience when measuring such things as the consumer benefit received from computer-power improvements since the early 1980s). Therefore the GDP figure may underestimate the degree to which improving technology and quality-level are increasing the real standard of living. www.launchbase.net /encyclopedia/Gross_domestic_product   (3036 words)

CRR Issues in Brief The sharp recession of the early 1980s exposed serious shortcomings in employer defined benefit pension plans. The economic boom that lasted from the mid-1980s through the end of the century did wonders for the health of these plans. But the sharp financial downturn of the early 2000s created large deficits that put the funding reforms to the test. www.bc.edu /centers/crr/gib_5.shtml   (439 words)

ITQ Southeast 2nd Quarter 2003 During the first quarter a very strong Florida economy and a reasonably solid Perhaps no region had more unexpected reactions to the early 2000s recession than the Southeast. Development is so much a part of the ethos that when a downturn in demand hits, the move beyond the margin into serious vacancy is rapid and painful. Thus there was a fairly severe dip in commercial property investment as the effects of recession in 2001 worked their way through the regional property markets. www.ccim.com /ITQOnline/2003/se22003.html   (767 words)

RedOrbit - Science - Veblen and Sweezy on Monopoly Capital, Crises, Conflict, and the State In an early essay, Sweezy was still a skeptic who had both praise and criticism of Veblen (1953; originally published in 1946). Yet the influence of Veblen-and Keynes-showed up early on when he discussed the waste of advertising as well as the enormous waste, caused by capitalist refusal to produce a higher amount of product, in the Great Depression and in every other cyclical downturn. Attention has been thus drawn away from the early 2000s recession, massive fraud in the private sector in the wake of Enron-type activities, and environment degradation. www.redorbit.com /news/display?id=112363   (8509 words)

Rather than opting out to have children, women have been pushed out of the labor market since 2001 because of the recession and slow recovery. The early 2000s recession led to sustained job losses for all women - with and without children at home - and the labor market only just returned to its 2000 employment level in January 2005, nearly four years after the recession began. www.connectforkids.org /taxonomy/term/325/all?from=20   (638 words)
