Explanation of Solution

During the period of a recession, the economy will face the leftward shift in the Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply of the economy. When the AD and AS shifts leftwards, it would lead to the new equilibrium where the equilibrium output will be lower whereas the price level will be higher. Thus, during the period of recession in the economy, the real GDP of the economy and the investment spending or the consumption spending of the economy would fall which will lead to an increase in the unemployment of the economy.

Thus, the real GDP of the economy, the consumption spending and the investment spending would decline during the period of recession in the economy. The macroeconomic variable that increases during the period of recession is the unemployment rate.
