Abstract:
It now appears that the economic expansion that began in 2001 is drawing to a close. The economy may be entering a recession; if not, it is certainly entering a slow-down. Now is therefore a good time to take stock of the recent economic expansion as a whole. We examine the expansion from 2001, when it began, through the third quarter of 2007, before the slow-down in economic growth in the last part of 2007.
