The econometrics tools (e.g. unit root test, Granger Causality Test, cointegration test, vector auto regression, Variance decomposition, and Variance Decomposition Analysis) have been used for the analysis purpose.

While discovering whether there is any association between the duration of a recession (dependent variable) and the number of years since the start of last recession, it is found that the relationship between the two factors is not significant. The paper also undertakes the comparatively analysis of the stimulus packages announced by the USA, UK, India and China governments in order to cope-up with recession. The study concludes that the stimulus packages announced by the USA have been company-specific to some extent while UK, India and China have announced plans to revive the economy at the macro-level. USA has tried to protect its companies by giving them package, which may not be the right signal for the global economy, which is almost in agreement against the theory of protectionism.
