Irregular gaps between recessions

11th May 2016
The gaps between recessions are in fact pretty irregular. For example, there was one in 1956 and another in 1957. The recession of 1973 was followed quickly by the one in 1975. In contrast, there was a gap of 17 years between the 1990/91 contraction and the financial crisis.
