Note: The term spread is the ten-year minus the three-month yield (see notes to Figure 1 for further details). The figure shows quarterly average values of the spread (the value for 2018Q1 is the average to February 26, 2018). The gray shaded areas indicate quarters in which there was an NBER-dated recession at any point in the quarter.

Note: The predicted probability (and the associated confidence interval) refers to the probability of a recession at some point in quarters t+1 to t+4, based on the probit model in equation (1). The gray shaded areas indicate quarters in which there was an NBER-dated recession at any point in the quarter.
