  1. The Great Recession and Tennessee’s Revenue Outlook Bill Fox and Matt Murray UT’s Center for Business and Economic Research October 29, 2009

  2. Nature of the Recession • Began in December 2007 • NBER dates recessions…peak to trough • First global downturn since WWII • The longest recession since the Great Depression • Records have been shattered • 2008 and 2009 home starts (WWII) • Will be deepest by some, but not all measures of economic activity • Unemployment rates will not likely rival the back-to-back recessions of the 1980s Fox and Murray, Center for Business and Economic Research, UT Knoxville

  3. Sources of a Rebound • Loose monetary policy and Treasury’s response, including TARP • Federal Funds target range near zero • Unprecedented forms of Fed intervention • Fiscal stimulus package, $790 billion • Adds more than 2 percentage points to GDP over two years • Market forces helping to turn the corner • Low housing prices, starts are rebounding • Mortgage refinancings create liquidity • Inventory accumulation in 3rd and 4th quarters Fox and Murray, Center for Business and Economic Research, UT Knoxville

  4. It Will Take Years to Regain Lost Ground • Mixed signals now emerging, the bottom of the current cycle • Recession is likely to be deemed over in the third quarter…but this is the trough • Very strong growth rates may then take place because economic activity is at such depressed levels-V, U, W or checkmark? • Take your pick! • Regardless, levels of economic activity will not be restored for some time—jobs, home starts, car sales, tax revenue, etc. Fox and Murray, Center for Business and Economic Research, UT Knoxville
