Expert Solution
Step 1

u=unemployment rate

u*=natural rate of unemployment

Y=output

Y*=full employment output

 

Step 2

The recession takes place when the actual unemployment rate is greater than the natural rate of unemployment and the actual output is lesser than the natural rate of output. This can be stated as :

Y<Y*u>u*

This shows that actual unemployment is more than expected unemployment. Also, the economy is not able to produce at full employment level. This implies the economy is in a state of recession.
