Double-Dip Recession |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus | 0.01 sec. |
Double-Dip Recession A long-term macroeconomic trend characterized by a recession, a recovery, and then another recession. For example, the United States economy entered a recession in 1929, which continued until 1933. Recovery continued until 1937, at which point a second recession began. Double-dip recessions often have weak recoveries in between the recessions (though the example above included some years of very strong growth); analysts therefore tend to worry about a double-dip recession when a recovery is weak.
