Can Machine Learning Catch Economic Recessions Using Economic and Market Sentiments?
Quantitative models are an important decision-making factor for policy makers and investors. Predicting an economic recession with high accuracy and reliability would be very beneficial for the society. This paper assesses machine learning technics to predict economic recessions in United States using market sentiment and economic indicators (seventy-five explanatory variables) from Jan 1986 - June 2022 on a monthly basis frequency. In order to solve the issue of missing time-series data points, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) method used to backcast explanatory variables. Analysis started with reduction in high dimensional dataset to only most important characters using Boruta algorithm, correlation matrix and solving multicollinearity issue. Afterwards, built various cross-validated models, both probability regression methods and machine learning technics, to predict recession binary outcome. The methods considered are Probit, Logit, Elastic Net, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Neural Network. Lastly, discussed different models performance based on confusion matrix, accuracy and F1 score with potential reasons for their weakness and robustness.

Bear Markets and Recessions versus Bull Markets and Expansions
This paper examines the dynamic interaction between falling and rising markets for both the real and the financial sectors of the largest economy in the world using asymmetric causality tests. These tests require that ea…
Economic Recession Prediction Using Deep Neural Network
We investigate the effectiveness of different machine learning methodologies in predicting economic cycles. We identify the deep learning methodology of Bi-LSTM with Autoencoder as the most accurate model to forecast the…

A Machine Learning Approach to Forecast Economic Recessions—An Italian Case Study
Abstract:In economic activity , recessions represent a period of failure in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and usually are presented as episodic and non-linear. For this reason, they are difficultto predictandappearasone…
