Economics
Is "recesión" a suitable translation for "cooling-off period" in a context of Economics? It seems that the proposed translation for "cooling-off" (período de reconsideración/gracia) do not fit in this context. See examples below:
"The 15-year period can be divided into two sub-periods: the first four years characterized by high income growth and low borrowing costs (boom period) and the remaining 11 years characterized by low income growth and high borrowing costs (cooling-off period)."
(...)
"For each country, the boom period growth rate was calculated as the 2004-2011 average GDP growth and the cooling-off period growth rate was calculated using the 2012-2018 average. The boom period interest rate was calculated as the 2010-2013 average real EMBI yields, while for the cooling-off period an upward trajectory of the EMBI yields was assumed (for detailed assumptions on interest rates see Appendix II)."

: He buscado la diferencia entre "enfriamiento" y "estancamiento", pero no lo he encontrado... A mí me parece que no es lo mismo, pero no lo tengo claro.

Periodo de enfriamiento de la actividad económica – periodo de vacas flacas
Periodo de disminución progresiva de la actividad económica...
Periodo de enfriamiento progresivo...
Creo que el uso metafórico de “enfriamiento” sería válido en español.
Tengo la impresión de que “periodo reflexión” no acaba de encajar aquí. Tal vez, la disminución de actividad económica se deba a que el público se torna más cauto y reflexiona antes de comprar... pero me parece más un periodo en que “se calman los ánimos” “ya no hay una euforia de compras a lo loco...” “el entusiasmo ya no está ahí...” (sniff... no vendo ni una rosquilla... y no nos comemos un rosco...)
En cualquier caso, a mal tiempo, buena cara... Ya llegará otra vez la época de las vacas gordas.
¡Saludos cordiales y suerte!
