Just the opposite happens. In a recession, unemployment increases and the demand for goods decreases.
The recession worsens into a depression.
Spending increases demand and can encourage economic growth.

Recession- A significant decline in activity regarding the economy. A recession usually declines such matters as employment, industrial production, real income, and wholesale-retail trade. A recession is measured in two consecutive terms of negative economic growth by the country's gross domestic product. Recovery- The period, after a recession, of growth due primarily to the utilization of economic capacity which became idle during the recession. Expansion- The period of economic growth after a recovery in which the increase of GDP is due to increases of productivity and addition of new economic capacity, rather than utilization of idle capacity.
Inflation is continuous increase in the prices. The rate of inflation sways as the money supply in the system increase or decrease. The Central Bank thus works on this concept. It slows down the economy to tame inflation. It uses different tools to control the inflation rates within a specific range favorable for the economy. Most common tool is the interest rates. When there is excess of money in the economy the central bank increases the interest rates and when the money in the system decreases the bank cuts down the interest rates to increase the demand and spending. Recession on the other hand is a decline in the economic activities for a quarter or more. Recession is thus characterized by a decrease in GDP, decline in employment, increase in unemployment, decline in industrial production and consumer price index and decrease in the housing prices. Recession is said to occur when the GDP shows a decline of ten percent or more. Depression is a term which is confused with recession. Depression is in fact more severe form of recession. Depression is said to occur when the economy faces more severe frequent fall in GDP. There are many factors which contribute to recession. But the most common one is either an increase or decrease in the prices. Increase in the prices discourages spending which affect the GDP adversely leading to recession. On the contrary inflation is caused when there is excess of money in the system. As the money in the system increases, the spending increases. This increases the demand. Prices increase when the supply is not able to meet the demand. And this sudden increase in prices reflects in the GDP and consumer price index, common measure of the inflation rates. Thus as the inflation rates increase the central bank increases the interest rates. This discourages spending and promotes saving. As the demand falls down and spending decline it leads to a decline in the production. A high inflation phase follows recession. The best part that recession thus plays is it reduces inflation. But it is commonly seen that the prices do not decline during recession. This is because the economy is still expanding, growing at a slow pace due to which the money supply in the system still remains. This is the situation that we face today. The economy is facing recession; the stock markets are melting down and the government is doing every bit to cut down the interest rates to encourage spending and revive the real estate market. But the prices of the commodities like food and oil still remain high.

Characteristics of Business Cycle: The fluctuations are wave like movement and are recurrent in nature. Business Cycle is characterized by waves of expansion and contraction. But these are not only two phases of business cycle. There are four phase of business cycle - Expansion, Recession, Contraction and Revival or Recovery. The movement from peak to trough and again though to peak is not symmetrical. According to Keynes, prosperity phase of business cycle comes to end fast but dip is gradual and slow. Business Cycle is self generating. Every phase has germs of the next phase, that is, expansion has the germs of the recession in it. In this chapter we learnt about business cycle and its characters and definition. However, we already have studied about marginal efficiency of capital and investment in business by this blog. Business cycles are everything which determines your business objectives.
Increased demand can be caused by: increasing government spending, increased investment by the private sector, increased consumption or increased net exports. This is brought about by reducing interest rates and other things...
