Abstract

Recession forecasting ranges from the simplistic inference from witnessing an inverted yield curve to sophisticated models drawing data from across the macroeconomic and financial spectra. Each has advantages, in simplicity and informativeness respectively, but each suffers for these. Demonstrating...
