Popis: This paper proposes a new framework that identifies a threshold between the fed funds rate and the 10-year Treasury yield and, when the threshold is breached, the risk of a recession in the near future is significant. Our framework predicted several recessions before the yield curve inversion point/monetary cycles’ approaches. In addition, our framework accurately forecasted peaks in the S&P 500 index.
