Homework Statement

I wish to know how I can estimate how long a recession will last, assuming that conditions stay the same.

The Attempt at a Solution

Given the amount of money the average company has now lost thanks to a stopped inflation, denoted by mi, we can estimate how long until the companies have recovered their losses. From there, we can estimate the length of the recession.
