在20世纪50年代初的八次复苏中（不包括20世纪80年代信用管制导致的衰退之后的短暂繁荣 ） ， 存货调整反应平均将真实消费增长提高了6.1 % （ 商业周期衰退后5个季度 ） ， 一两个季度出现7—8%的增长井喷也不足为奇。
In the eight recoveries since the early 1950’s (excluding the brief pop following the credit-controls-induced slump in the 1980’s), the stock-adjustment response lifted real consumption growth by 6.1%, on average, for five quarters following business-cycle downturns; spurts of 7-8% growth were not uncommon for a quarter or two.
