[1] However, there appears to have been relatively little analysis of such periods, particularly for the euro area.

Key Points: 
  • [1] However, there appears to have been relatively little analysis of such periods, particularly for the euro area.
  • The euro area economy has experienced five peaks and troughs since the beginning of the 1970s.
  • ChartA plots the five expansionary periods in the euro area since the beginning of the 1970s, as identified by the CEPR Euro Area Business Cycle Dating Committee (where the trough is indexed to 100).
  • TableA shows the number of soft patches for every euro area business cycle expansion according to the different definitions applied.
  • This method implies that longer soft patches are recorded as a number of consecutive shorter soft patches (with the number varying depending on the definition).
  • [7] TableA Number of soft patches according to different definitions (number of soft patches)
  • Soft patches during the expansionary phase of the business cycle are quite common and are not a reliable leading indicator of recessions.
  • ChartB illustrates this by showing the level of euro area output alongside soft patches (according to Definition3) and recession periods.
  • Although the analysis here identifies several soft patches that closely preceded a recession, many soft patches took place without the economy entering a recession in the following year.
  • An important caveat relates to data revisions, which may change the identification of a soft patch over time.
  • The bottom panel shows the impact of data revisions on the assessment of a soft patch occurring around the turn of the year 2013/2014 (according to Definition3).
  • ChartC Impact of data revisions on soft patches
