Note that this market uses the NBER declaration to resolve positively. Comparing to the real money markets below that use different definitions, we can extrapolate that the implied probability of a 2025 recession according to NBER should be significantly lower than ~60%.

  • Polymarket (NBER or 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP): 57%

  • Kalshi (2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP): 61%
