-
how one thinks about these two categories of recession
-
in the context of an ISLM model
-
or in the context of a simple--
-
some kind of simple--macroeconomic model.
-
The correct answer to that question, I think,
-
is that it's pretty unambiguous that a disinflation recession
-
is best thought of as the Federal Reserve tightening money,
-
which represents some kind of leftward movement of the LM curve--
-
that output declines and interest rates rise
-
and that that's the proximate shock
-
that is bringing about the recession.
-
That it turns out to be a matter of semantic ambiguity--
