Economic Recession of 2007: What caused it and what were the after effects? Can we predict another major recession?
This essay revolves around a macroeconomic analysis of the global economic recession that began in 2007 and still progressing up to date. The essay outlines scores that caused it, what were the effects, where does the economy stand, the prospects that are in play to resolve it, and whether it is possible to predict another major recession. This study reviews key macroeconomic facts, financial concepts, and a look into economic crisis with a lens of standard macroeconomic models that explains the recession in a more clear way. Although the recession that dates back in 2007 is still long and deep and surely has shown some recovery, the potential that it will completely recover is still vague.
To be specific on minimums, recession means a downfall in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a given nation
