What counted as right

Status
resolved
Settled on
2023-12-31

A US recession (NBER-dated, or two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP) begins at some point during calendar year 2023.

Both prongs of the written criterion fail: no NBER-dated recession began in 2023, and there was no two-consecutive-quarter real-GDP contraction. Window closed 2023-12-31; outcome fully determinable. Prediction did not come to pass.

Evidence of what happened

  • NBER's Business Cycle Dating Committee has dated no recession beginning in 2023; the last (and only post-COVID) declared contraction was the two-month Feb–Apr 2020 recession. No 2023 peak has ever been announced.

    Evidence

  • BEA real GDP grew every quarter of 2023 at annual rates (Q1 +2.2%, Q2 +2.1%, Q3 ~+4.9–5.2%, Q4 +3.4%), so there were no two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP in 2023.
